Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. The pancreas still produces it, but it becomes less effective, leading to a progressive increase in blood glucose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This form of diabetes often appears in adulthood but is increasingly affecting young adults in Quebec and elsewhere, due to sedentary lifestyles and obesity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Who is affected?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">In Quebec and Canada, about 1 in 10 adults lives with diagnosed diabetes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Common risk factors for type 2 diabetes:<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Overweight, particularly around the abdomen<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sedentary lifestyle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Diet high in sugar and fat<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Family history of diabetes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Age (more common after 40)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Certain populations, such as Indigenous or South Asian communities, are at higher risk<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes to Watch For<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">Type 2 diabetes can remain asymptomatic for a long time. However, some signs may raise concern:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Persistent fatigue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Excessive thirst and frequent urination<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Blurred vision<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Recurrent infections (skin, urinary)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Slow-healing wounds, especially on the feet<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">These symptoms are not specific to diabetes but can justify a medical consultation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>How is Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosed?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">Diagnosis is mainly based on blood tests prescribed by a physician. The most common are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Fasting blood glucose<\/b><\/span>: measures blood sugar after fasting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>HbA1c<\/b><\/span>: evaluates average blood glucose over about 2\u20133 months<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Glucose tolerance test<\/b><\/span>: measures the body\u2019s reaction after drinking a sugary solution<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">These tests confirm diabetes even without symptoms.
