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.🌱✨
