Type 2 Diabetes
What It Means for Your Health

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting millions of people worldwide. When you consume food, your body converts it into glucose (sugar), which is then used for energy. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that helps glucose enter your cells. However, in individuals with Type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t use insulin effectively or doesn’t produce enough, causing blood sugar levels to rise. This condition can lead to severe health issues, such as heart attacks, strokes, blindness, kidney failure, and even the loss of toes, feet, or legs.

Understanding Prediabetes: The First Step to Prevention

Prediabetes means your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes. Without taking action, you are likely to develop Type 2 diabetes within five years. The good news is you can often prevent this progression with the right lifestyle changes.
