Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) – A chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body’s ineffective use of insulin or reduced insulin production. The condition typically develops gradually, often in adults, and is strongly associated with lifestyle factors and genetic predisposition. The body either becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. Over time, this leads to various metabolic changes and can affect how the body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The disease usually progresses slowly, and symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.

Overweight – A condition where a person’s body weight is higher than what is considered healthy for their height, typically measured by body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9. It occurs when the body accumulates excess fat due to an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure. The condition can develop gradually over time and is influenced by various factors including diet, physical activity levels, genetics, and metabolism. This condition often coexists with other metabolic disorders and can affect overall health status.
