Type 2 Diabetes
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where your body has trouble using a hormone called insulin to turn the sugar (glucose) from your food into energy. This causes sugar to build up in your blood, which can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. People with type 2 diabetes may
feel very thirsty, need to pee often, feel tired, or have blurry vision. Managing type 2 diabetes requires making healthy lifestyle choices and working closely with your healthcare team. By taking steps to control your blood sugar, you can reduce your risk of complications and feel your best.
Things To Avoid With Type 2 Diabetes
Sitting too much
Being inactive can make it harder for your body to use insulin properly
Sugary foods and drinks
Foods high in sugar, like candy, soda, and desserts, can cause blood sugar levels to spike.
Processed carbohydrates
White bread, pasta, and rice can also raise blood sugar quickly.
Skipping meals
Eating regularly helps keep blood sugar levels stable.
Things That Can Help Type 2 Diabetes
Monitor blood sugar
Checking your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor can help you keep them in a healthy range.
