Type 2 diabetes is a widespread metabolic disorder characterized by the body's inability to process glucose effectively, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. This condition arises primarily from insulin resistance, where cells become less responsive to insulin, or insufficient insulin production. High blood sugar can lead to complications like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. Key risk factors include genetic predisposition, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary choices. Excessive intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats can further exacerbate insulin resistance, making dietary changes critical for prevention.
