Personalized Support for Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive, long-term condition that affects how your body regulates sugar. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, it typically develops in adults and is closely linked to lifestyle and genetic factors. Dr. Rohini Gajare, an expert diabetologist, provides comprehensive and personalized care to help patients manage T2DM effectively and live healthy, fulfilling lives.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter cells to be used as energy. In T2DM, glucose builds up in the blood, leading to various health issues if not managed properly.
Though it often starts silently, early detection and intervention can significantly improve quality of life and reduce long-term complications.
Causes & Risk Factors
Type 2 diabetes develops due to a combination of factors:
- Insulin resistance – when the body’s cells don’t respond to insulin effectively
- Obesity– especially abdominal fat
- Genetics – a family history increases risk
- Age – more common after age 45
- Lack of physical activity
- Poor dietary habits and stress
Women with a history of gestational diabetes are also at higher risk.
Common Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes can progress gradually. Watch for:
- Excessive thirst and hunger
- Physical activity guidance for fat loss and hormone regulation
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing wounds
- Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
These symptoms may be mild or absent in the early stages, so regular screening is important, especially if you’re at risk.
