Type 2 Diabetes

Insulin Resistance

A metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar due to insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, driven by insulin resistance and progressive beta-cell dysfunction. It is closely associated with obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition. Management focuses on glycemic control through lifestyle changes and medications, with metformin as the cornerstone of pharmacotherapy.
