Disease/Condition Glossary

Type-2 diabetes mellitus: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when our body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas cannot make enough insulin. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce sufficient insulin or cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, called adult-onset diabetes. Genetics and environmental factors seem to be contributing factors for type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes will have high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) in the blood. They will experience symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. There may be weight gain in some cases, while weight loss may also be observed in rare cases. The complication associated with type 2 diabetes includes neuropathy (nerve problems), nephropathy (kidney problems), and retinopathy (damaged retina of eyes or blindness), sexual dysfunction and increase the chance of heart attack or stroke.
