Managing and Preventing Type 2 Diabetes at Metabolic Health Clinic
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Left unmanaged, it can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. At Metabolic Health Clinic, we specialize in helping patients manage type 2 diabetes with personalized care plans, education, and ongoing support to prevent the condition from progressing and improve quality of life.
Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. This results in elevated glucose levels, which can lead to complications over time. Risk factors include obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and family history. While type 2 diabetes is a lifelong condition, it can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
