What type diabtes do you have when your blood sugar is high?

Type 2 Diabetes

High blood sugar is a symptom of type 2 diabetes. This chronic condition is caused by the body's inability to effectively use insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose move from the blood into the cells. Glucose is the primary energy source for the body, and when blood sugar levels are too high, it can damage organs, blood vessels, nerves, and other tissues.

* Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

- Increased thirst

- Frequent urination

- Increased hunger

- Weight loss

- Fatigue

- Blurred vision

- Slow-healing sores

- Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet

*If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis and start treatment.*

Type 2 diabetes is typically managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise, as well as medication to lower blood sugar.
