Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), which is a vital source of energy. In this condition, your body either becomes resistant to insulin—a hormone that helps sugar enter cells—or doesn’t produce enough insulin. As a result, glucose accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. This can cause various health issues, including heart disease, kidney problems, and nerve damage. Lifestyle factors like obesity, inactivity, and poor diet increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, but it can often be managed through diet, exercise, and medication.
