Understanding Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition where your body doesn’t use insulin properly, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar can damage your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.

Signs & Symptoms

  • Frequent urination
  • Excessive thirst or hunger
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow healing of cuts and wounds

How It's Managed

T2DM can often be managed and even reversed with lifestyle changes and, when needed, medication:

  • Healthy, balanced eating (low sugar, high fiber)
  • Regular physical activity
  • Weight management
  • Routine blood glucose monitoring
  • Oral medications or insulin if prescribed

Every step you take toward managing diabetes is a step toward better health and energy.
