Abstract:
Type-2 diabetes is a significant non-communicable disease that is becoming more prevalent worldwide. Type-2 diabetes occurs when the body either fails to produce sufficient insulin or is unable to utilize the insulin it does make. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly rising globally, and it has emerged as a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness, kidney failure necessitating dialysis, cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, limb amputations, infections, and premature mortality. Discussions about the advantages of modifying lifestyle behavior were included in self-care practices. An early diagnosis can help identify the effectiveness of health promotion messages in 'high-risk' prevention strategies. Studies indicate that adopting a weight loss based healthy lifestyle can potentially prevent the onset of diabetes and even reverse its progression. This paper offers additional evidence to support the importance of promoting regular physical activity & weight loss as an integral part of a comprehensive approach to combat diabetes.
