Type 2 diabetes

When your blood sugar levels are high, type 2 diabetes develops. It is a disease with enormous potential to cause ill effects on the body in the long run. This can eventually result in other health problems like heart disease, nerve damage, stroke, kidney disease, and vision issues.

Obesity increases your risk of developing diabetes, which is characterized by an excess of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. Diabetes also gets worse quickly in people who are obese. In comparison to people who are at a healthy weight, those who are obese are around six times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. If you have obesity, decreasing just 5 to 7 percent of your body weight and engaging in routine, moderate exercise may help you avoid or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
