Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for about 90% of all diabetes cases. Changes in diet and physical activity associated with rapid development and urbanization have led to a sharp increase in people with type 2 diabetes. Previously, older adults developed the condition. However, due to increasing levels of obesity, sedentary lifestyles and poor diet, type 2 diabetes is increasing in children, adolescents and young adults. The primary indicator of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance, where the body cannot respond properly to insulin. In many cases, the condition can be delayed or prevented. Because insulin cannot function properly, blood sugar levels continue to rise and it secretes more insulin. Unfortunately, in some people with type 2 diabetes, this can eventually exhaust the pancreas. As a result, the body produces less and less insulin, resulting in higher blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Frequency Used: 657.5 Hz
