on Type 2 Diabetes
    
    Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder, or health condition, characterized by elevated blood sugar levels in the body. It is caused by the body’s inability to efficiently use insulin (a hormone released by the pancreas after a meal) to help manage sugar levels. Unlike type 1 diabetes, which is typically caused by an autoimmune reaction, type 2 diabetes is largely preventable and in most cases reversible.
    
    Type 2 diabetes is an increasingly common health concern, with an estimated 1 in 10 adults globally currently diagnosed, and a predicted surge in the next decade as the result of an ageing population and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. The primary risk factors and causal triggers for type 2 diabetes include: excess weight, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, smoking and genetic factors.
    
    Managing type 2 diabetes relies on understanding the types of foods that can help to regulate blood sugar levels in addition to the development of healthy habits and lifestyle changes. Following a healthy eating plan, including low glycemic index foods such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and high quality proteins, can help to slow the progression of the condition and in some cases reverse it entirely. In combination with regular exercise, stress reduction, and limited alcohol and cigarette use, many individuals are able to find a successful balance for managing their type 2 diabetes.
    
    In more serious cases of type 2 diabetes, the suppression of glucose may need to be managed with medication such as insulin injections. It is important for those living with type 2 diabetes to learn about the risks associated with their condition and take necessary precautions. This includes frequent self-testing of blood sugar levels, glucose monitoring, regular visits to the doctor, proactive identification and management of associated risks (e.g. obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol) and attentive responses to changes in glucose levels both during the day and sleep.
    
    With the right lifestyle and medical management, type 2 diabetes can be a highly manageable condition. By being aware of both the risk factors associated with the condition and the strategies available to manage them, individuals living with type 2 diabetes can ensure they are taking pro-active steps to control the condition and improve their overall health and well-being.
