Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Over time, the body may not produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar within a healthy range. As a result, blood sugar becomes too high, which can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. It is often linked to lifestyle factors such as obesity, inactivity, and poor diet, but can also have genetic components. Managing the condition typically involves lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
