Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or does not properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. When there is too much sugar in the blood, it can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. Treatment for type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, as well as medications to help control blood sugar levels.
