Type 2 diabetes is the most typical. Those over the age of 40 are frequently affected by it. Diabetes mellitus with adult onset is the term used. When your body produces insulin but is unable to adequately utilize it, you have this condition. Also known as diabetes mellitus.

You may have prediabetes if your blood sugar level is higher than usual. This indicates that your body is becoming less effective in removing sugar from the blood and turning it into energy, as well as becoming more resistant to insulin. Risk factors for prediabetes include genetics, lifestyle, diet, and exercise regimen. It can develop into type 2 diabetes if left unchecked.
Prediabetes can be cured with medication and lifestyle changes. Following a healthy diet, increasing your physical activity, and taking any prescribed medications as directed can help your body regain its capacity to control blood sugar levels.

Do I have to start taking insulin if I have type 2 diabetes?
No. Depending on a number of variables, including the time of the diagnosis, individuals with type 2 diabetes may or may not ever need to administer insulin injections. According to research, the pancreas is more likely to continue producing enough insulin for a longer period of time if type 2 diabetes is treated early and blood sugar is controlled both initially and over time. But, a person with type 2 who has had it for more than 15 years is unlikely to continue producing enough insulin, so they will need to use a syringe, pen, or pump to administer it.
Why is eating carbohydrate-rich fruit OK? Are some fruits healthier?
All fruits—fresh, frozen, dried, and canned without sugar—are mostly carbohydrate with some protein. Diabetes requires a daily carbohydrate intake for energy and minerals. Fruits, vegetables, healthy grains, beans, and low-fat dairy are good carb sources.
