Understanding Type 2 Diabetes: A Brief Overview
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes glucose (sugar), a primary energy source. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, where the body doesn't produce insulin, in Type 2 diabetes, the body either resists insulin's effects or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels.
This condition often develops due to a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors, including obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet. Symptoms can include frequent urination, increased thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision, though it often goes undiagnosed for years due to mild or unnoticed symptoms.
Managing Type 2 diabetes focuses on lifestyle changes such as maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication or insulin therapy. Left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues. Early detection and proper management are key to living a healthy life with diabetes.
