Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance, where the body does not effectively use insulin, or inadequate insulin production. It typically develops in adults, but increasing rates are seen in children and adolescents due to rising obesity levels. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, though many individuals may remain asymptomatic initially. Risk factors include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition. Managing Type 2 diabetes involves lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management. Medications may also be prescribed to help control blood sugar levels. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues, improving overall quality of life.
