Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, commonly known as Type 2 diabetes, is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production. It is often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity and can be managed through lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin therapy.

1. Insulin Resistance
2. Dietary Management
3. Pharmacological Advances in Type 2 Diabetes Treatment

Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells do not respond effectively to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. It is a hallmark of Type 2 diabetes.

Dietary Management: Dietary management involves controlling blood sugar through carefully planned diets, often involving carbohydrate monitoring, balanced nutrition, and portion control.

Pharmacological Advances in Type 2 Diabetes Treatment: This field explores the development of new medications and treatment approaches for Type 2 diabetes, aiming to improve effectiveness and reduce side effects.
