Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes can develop due to a genetic predisposition or it can be brought on by things like obesity or an unhealthy lifestyle. Your body eventually becomes resistant to the effects of insulin – the hormone that regulates your blood sugar levels – or simply doesn’t produce enough of it. Type 2 Diabetes has a long list of painful side effects, and some of these are:
-
- Long-term damage to eyesight, your heart, kidneys, digestive system, and more
- Strokes
- Higher chance of cardiovascular diseases
- High blood pressure
- Shortened lifespan
