Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by increased blood glucose levels caused due to body resistance to insulin. Commonly associated with obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and genetic factors, type 2 diabetes can lead to various complications if not appropriately managed. These include cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney damage, and vision problems. Management typically involves lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and medication to control blood sugar levels. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for type 2 diabetes mellitus to prevent or delay complications associated with the disease.
