Diabetes Type 2 > See the Complete List
Diabetes Type 2 is characterized by the body’s resistance to insulin as well as a tolerance to its effect, whereby requiring more insulin in response to regulating blood sugar. This results in a general rise in blood sugar levels which then cause systemic health problems. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. It is typically caused by an unhealthy diet, limited physical activity, smoking, or genetic factors. If untreated, Type 2 Diabetes can eventually cause a wide variety of life threatening conditions.
At the Stram Center, we believe that lifestyle modification is a key factor in treating this condition. Together with dietary modifications and appropriate exercise incorporated in one’s lifestyle, as well as laboratory monitoring, this disease can be managed very well.
