In simple words: Type 2 diabetes is a condition where your body has trouble using or making enough insulin, a hormone that helps sugar (glucose) from food get into your cells for energy.This causes sugar to build up in your blood, which can lead to health problems over time if not managed.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) resulting from impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance, or both. The body either doesn't produce enough insulin or the cells don't respond to it effectively, leading to glucose buildup in the bloodstream.

Example 1: A 50-year-old obese patient presents with increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Blood tests reveal elevated fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, confirming a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus., A 65-year-old patient with a long history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes develops diabetic retinopathy, requiring laser treatment to prevent vision loss., A 40-year-old patient with a family history of type 2 diabetes is diagnosed with prediabetes and begins lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise) to prevent progression to diabetes.

Documentation should include symptoms, physical exam findings, laboratory results (fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, renal function tests), family history, and other relevant medical history.
