Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Dr. Divya C. Ragate explains type 2 diabetes as a condition where the body is unable to use insulin effectively, or does not produce enough insulin to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream instead of being properly used by the body's cells for energy. Over time, persistently high blood sugar can affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and blood vessels.
The good news is that with the right treatment, regular monitoring and lifestyle changes, diabetes can be managed effectively and the risk of complications can be reduced.
How Is Type 2 Diabetes Different?
Type 2 diabetes is different from Type 1 diabetes in several ways:
-
It is not primarily caused by an autoimmune reaction.
-
The body usually continues to produce insulin, particularly in the early stages.
-
The body becomes less sensitive to insulin.
-
It usually develops gradually.
-
In many people, it can be delayed or prevented through healthy lifestyle changes and early intervention.
Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes may cause few or no symptoms initially. When symptoms occur, they may include:
-
Increased thirst
-
Frequent urination
-
Excessive tiredness or low energy
-
Blurred vision
-
Slow-healing cuts or wounds
-
Recurrent infections
-
Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet
-
Unexplained changes in weight
Because symptoms can be mild, regular health checks are important, especially for people with risk factors for diabetes.
Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes
Several factors can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, including:
-
Family history of diabetes
-
Overweight or obesity
-
Lack of regular physical activity
-
Unhealthy or unbalanced eating habits
-
Increasing age
-
High blood pressure
-
Prediabetes
-
Previous gestational diabetes
-
Certain genetic and ethnic factors
Having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean that a person will develop diabetes, but it may make regular screening and preventive care more important.
