Is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Here are some key points about type 2 diabetes:

• Insulin Resistance: In type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels.
• Risk Factors: Common risk factors include obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, family history of diabetes, and age (typically over 45).
• Symptoms: Symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing sores.
• Management: Type 2 diabetes can often be managed with lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, along with medications or insulin therapy if needed.

If you suspect you have type 2 diabetes, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
