Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that occurs when the body does not respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance) and, over time, cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps transport blood sugar into cells. However, in people with Type 2 Diabetes, blood sugar levels rise because cells are not sufficiently sensitive to insulin. This can lead to serious long-term health problems such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision loss.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Constant fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow wound healing
Unexplained weight loss
Risk Factors:
Family history of diabetes
Overweight or obesity
Sedentary lifestyle
Unhealthy diet
High blood pressure and high cholesterol
Polycystic ovary syndrome (for women)

Treatment and Management:

Type 2 Diabetes can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and, in some cases, insulin. Healthy eating, regular exercise and blood sugar monitoring are the most important control methods.
