Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. It usually begins with insulin resistance [which is a condition in which fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin properly]. As a result, your pancreas tries to compensate by producing more insulin [which is responsible for regulating your blood sugar]. Meanwhile, the pancreas loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to the digestion of food. Being overweight and inactive increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Treatment and management of this disease include Using specific medications, making wise food choices, exercising regularly and behavioral health interventions for diabetes management can help you control your diabetes effectively. Psychotherapy can promote behavioral change that improves medication adherence, dietary choices, exercise, stress, and other variables that affect blood sugar levels.
