CONCLUSION
Type 2 diabetes continues to be a major health condition that challenges the global population. Lifestyle changes and nutrition habits have contributed to the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Additional awareness of the risk factors and physiology of prediabetes are important factors for healthcare providers to understand. Patients at risk should have regular screening and early implementation of recommended lifestyle modifications to prevent the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness that requires self-management and motivation on the part of the patient. As healthcare providers working with patients who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, it is important to understand the common complications that may occur as well as the most effective short- and long-term management strategies to support the health and wellness of patients with type 2 diabetes and their families.
