What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition affecting how your body metabolizes sugar (glucose).🩸 Unlike Type 1 diabetes, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance. This means that the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.⚡️ As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Initially, the pancreas tries to compensate by producing more insulin, but over time, it cannot keep up with the increased demand. This leads to persistent hyperglycemia, which can cause various health complications, including heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage.💥😔
Type 2 diabetes is often linked to factors such as obesity, poor diet, and lack of physical activity. While conventional treatments focus on controlling blood sugar levels with medications, addressing the underlying causes is crucial for effective management and potentially reversing the condition. At West Wellness Clinic, our natural approach does more than manage symptoms—it works to reverse them by getting to the root of the problem.🌱✨

Why Functional Medicine

FAQs🔍

Can Type 2 Diabetes Be Reversed?
While there is no definitive cure for Type 2 diabetes, it can often be managed and potentially reversed through significant lifestyle changes. Following a diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and achieving weight loss can substantially improve blood sugar control. Some individuals may reach normal blood sugar levels and reduce their dependence on medications by making these changes. However, ongoing management and lifestyle adjustments are essential to maintain these improvements and prevent the return of symptoms.
What Role Does Diet Play in Managing Type 2 Diabetes?
Diet is a cornerstone of managing Type 2 diabetes effectively. A well-balanced diet can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve overall health. Emphasizing whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and a variety of vegetables is crucial for stabilizing blood sugar. Additionally, reducing the intake of processed foods, sugars, and refined carbohydrates is vital, as these can cause blood sugar spikes. By focusing on nutrient-dense foods and avoiding dietary triggers, individuals with Type 2 diabetes can better manage their condition and support their long-term health.
How Important Is Exercise for Someone with Type 2 Diabetes?
Exercise plays a critical role in managing Type 2 diabetes. Regular physical activity enhances insulin sensitivity, helps control blood sugar levels, and supports weight management.
