Type 2 Diabetes
Also known as: T2DM · Adult-Onset Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is chronic hyperglycemia driven by insulin resistance and progressive beta-cell dysfunction. It carries substantial cardiovascular, renal, and neurologic risk.
What you need to know
Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed by A1C ≥ 6.5%, fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, or 2-hour glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL. Provider-reviewed care interprets glycemic markers alongside the full metabolic and cardiovascular picture — lipids, kidney function, blood pressure — and integrates GLP-1, GIP/GLP-1, and lifestyle pathways.
