  • symptoms may not be noticeable until after diagnosed 
  • no hypoglycemia 
  • it is preventable with a healthy lifestyle (maintaining weight, eating right, and exercising regularly) 
  • Treatments: healthy eating, regular exercise, possibly medication or insulin therapy, and blood sugar monitoring
