Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, affects millions of people globally. Over time, the pancreas may struggle to produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose levels effectively. This #AmericanDiabetesMonth, we are calling on diabetes care professionals to help spread awareness about the risks, signs, and symptoms of type 2 diabetes. By educating those around us and providing clear, actionable information, we can promote earlier detection and better outcomes.
