A Lifestyle Guide to Type-2 Diabetes

### Understanding and Managing Type-2 Diabetes Type-2 Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate glucose (sugar) levels, leading to high blood sugar. Glucose, derived from the food you eat, is essential for energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps glucose enter your cells to be used as fuel. In Type-2 Diabetes, the pancreas either doesn't produce enough insulin or the body can't use it effectively. This means glucose stays in the blood, leading to high sugar levels. To manage this, insulin shots or oral medications might be necessary. This guide will help you understand Type-2 Diabetes and how to live well with it, offering insights into diet, exercise, and medication management.
