Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. It accounts for approximately 90% of diabetes cases worldwide. This disease is characterized by insulin resistance and the progressive dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in chronic hyperglycemia. In recent decades, the prevalence of DM2 has increased considerably due to changes in lifestyles, population aging, and urbanization. The complications associated with DM2, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular diseases, and lower extremity amputations, are a significant burden in terms of both healthcare and the economy. Intensive control of blood glucose and cardiovascular risk factors is crucial for preventing these complications. Early detection and effective interventions, such as lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatments, are essential in order to reduce the incidence of DM2 and its comorbidities.
