Type 2 Diabetes – 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 develops gradually, often beginning with insulin resistance, where body cells don’t respond effectively to insulin. Over time, the pancreas may produce less insulin, leading to consistently elevated blood glucose levels. The condition typically appears in adults and is often associated with lifestyle factors and genetic predisposition. Type 2 diabetes can affect how the body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, leading to various metabolic changes.
