Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). With type 2 diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t use it effectively, causing glucose to build up in the bloodstream.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes insulin resistant, meaning cells no longer respond properly to insulin. Over time, the pancreas struggles to keep up, and blood sugar rises.
