About Type 2 Diabetes, the broader condition
This overview covers Type 2 Diabetes in general, not Type 2 Diabetes DPP-4 Inhibitor CKD-Safe specifically.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose is your main source of energy. It comes from the foods you eat. A hormone called insulin helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. If you have diabetes, your body doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin well. The glucose then stays in your blood and not enough goes into your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. But you can take steps to manage your diabetes and try to prevent these health problems.
What causes type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes may be caused by a combination of factors:
Being overweight or having obesity
Not being physically active
Genetics and family history
Type 2 diabetes usually starts with insulin resistance. This is a condition in which your cells don't respond normally to insulin. As a result, your body needs more insulin to help the glucose enter your cells. At first, your body makes more insulin to try to get cells to respond. But over time, your body can't make enough insulin, and your blood glucose levels rise.
Who is at risk for type 2 diabetes?
You are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:
Are over age 45. Children, teenagers, and younger adults can get type 2 diabetes, but it is more common in middle-aged and older people.
Have prediabetes, which means that your blood glucose is high for you but not high enough to be called diabetes
Had diabetes in pregnancy or gave birth to a baby weighing 9 pounds or more.
Have a family history of diabetes
Are overweight or have obesity
Are Black or African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander
Are not physically active
Have other conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or depression
Have low HDL (good) cholesterol and high triglycerides
Have acanthosis nigricans - dark, thick, and velvety skin around your neck or armpits
What are the symptoms of type 2 diabetes?
Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms at all. If you do have them, the symptoms develop slowly over several years. They might be so mild that you do not notice them. The symptoms can include:
Increased thirst and urination
Increased hunger
Feeling tired
Blurred vision
Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
Sores that do not heal
Unexplained weight loss
How is type 2 diabetes diagnosed?
Your provider will use blood tests to diagnose type 2 diabetes. The blood tests include:
A1C test, which measures your average blood glucose level over the past 3 months.
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test, which measures your current blood glucose level. You need to fast (not eat or drink anything except water) for at least 8 hours before the test.
Random plasma glucose (RPG) test, which measures your current blood glucose level. This test is used when you have diabetes symptoms and the provider does not want to wait for you to fast before having the test.
The broader condition is Type 2 Diabetes.
