Diabetes type 2

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body becomes less responsive to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Over time, the pancreas may also produce less insulin. As a result, blood sugar becomes too high, which can lead to health problems like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. It often develops gradually and is influenced by factors such as genetics, diet, physical activity, and weight. Managing type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle changes like healthy eating, regular exercise, weight management, and sometimes medication to keep blood sugar levels within a safe range.
