TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

• Chronic condition: Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition that affects the body’s ability to regulate and use sugar (glucose) as fuel.
• Insulin resistance: Cells become resistant to insulin, making it difficult for glucose to enter cells for energy production.
• Pancreatic dysfunction: The pancreas may not produce enough insulin to compensate for insulin resistance.
• High blood sugar: Elevated blood sugar levels can lead to various health complications.
• Management: Type 2 diabetes can be managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, insulin therapy.
