Diabetes mellitus (type II)

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (also known as type 2 diabetes) is a long term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, required to utilize glucose from digested food as an energy source. Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications that can lead to visual impairment, blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage,

amputations, heart disease, and stroke.

Diabetes can not be cured but managed with reduced food intake, increased physical activity, and

oral medications or insulin.
