Summary

Introduction to T2D

• Disease Characteristics: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is primarily characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
• Pathological Mechanism: Elevated blood sugar results from the body's poor response to insulin (insulin resistance), insufficient insulin secretion, or both occurring simultaneously.
• Preventability: It is potentially preventable and closely linked to lifestyle factors.
• Risk Factors: Lack of physical activity, poor diet, obesity, smoking, as well as genetics and family history.
• Epidemiology: It is much more common than type 1 diabetes, predominantly occurring in adults, but cases in children and young people are also increasing.
