Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetes Mellitus type 2: It is a disorder in which the body either stops producing enough insulin (the hormone that aids in reducing blood sugar levels) or develops resistance to the effect of insulin. As a result, extra insulin is created, yet it fails to function in the body's organs. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include fatigue, thirst, blurred vision, and an increased need to urinate (pee). Skin infections, eye difficulties (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), delayed wound healing, diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney illness (nephropathy), high blood pressure, and even stroke are all complications of type 2 diabetes. Blood sugar levels that are either low or too high can be harmful and should be treated as soon as possible.

Hyperlipidaemia: Hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia happens when there is an excess of bad cholesterol (LDL) in the bloodstream and a good cholesterol (HDL) deficiency. When your blood cholesterol level is high, your arteries narrow and clog, contributing to cardiac disorders like stroke and heart attack. The primary causes of high cholesterol are high-fat or high-cholesterol foods/drinks and genetic factors.
