Disease Explanation
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition of high blood sugar level despite the production of sufficient amounts of insulin in your body. This happens because of insulin resistance, which means the cells become resistant to insulin and are not able to use it effectively. It can lead to symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue.
