Managing Type 2 Diabetes with Expertise and Empathy
Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition where the body either resists insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. It is commonly associated with lifestyle factors, obesity, age, or family history and typically develops in adulthood—but is increasingly seen in younger individuals as well.
