Type 2 diabetes mainly develops due to a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors that affect how your body manages blood sugar.
A family history of diabetes increases your risk because certain genes can affect how your body produces and uses insulin.
Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and excess body weight, especially around the abdomen, are major contributors that can lead to type 2 diabetes.
In this condition, your body's cells become less responsive to insulin, making it harder to control blood sugar levels effectively.
Age, certain ethnic backgrounds, and medical conditions like high blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol levels can also raise the risk.
It’s important to consult an endocrinologist or a diabetologist for personalized evaluation and management.
