t2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood for energy. When this process doesn’t work well, blood sugar rises, which over time can damage organs, nerves, and blood vessels. It’s often linked to factors like genetics, obesity, inactivity, and poor diet. Managing type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle changes, monitoring blood sugar, and sometimes medication to prevent complications and maintain health.
