Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that develops over time, often influenced by our lifestyle choices and genetic predisposition. This condition is characterized by insulin resistance, where your body becomes less responsive to the hormone insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.

Imagine a whopping 463 million adults living with this condition in 2019, as estimated by the International Diabetes Federation. And hold onto your seat, because that number is projected to soar to a mind-boggling 700 million by 2045. That's a global health challenge that demands attention.
Type 2 diabetes doesn't discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life. It's a universal concern that requires a united effort to combat its rise and provide support to those affected.
So, get ready to embark on a journey where we'll unravel the mysteries of Type 2 diabetes, explore causes, symptoms, diagnosis, prevention strategies, discover management techniques, and learn about the incredible resilience of the human body.
