Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a common form of diabetes that primarily affects adults and is closely linked to diet and obesity. It is characterized by high blood sugar levels, which can lead to various health complications such as heart disease, strokes, and kidney damage. Type 2 diabetes is caused by an excess of glucose in the body, often resulting from the consumption of refined carbohydrates and added sugars. It is a reversible disease, and research has shown that lifestyle changes, such as adopting a low-carbohydrate diet and intermittent fasting, can effectively reverse type 2 diabetes.
