Abstract

Diabetes is a significant public health concern, affecting the well-being of individuals from a wide variety of communities. With the rising cases of diabetes, an emphasis must be placed on the health impacts and risks of this chronic condition. The report will overview the biological process of diabetes covering the mechanisms of actions of insulin, outline the risk factors of the more commonly occurring type 2 diabetes, and provide information regarding health management and treatment. This research aims to explore the relationship between dietary habits and the risks of developing type 2 diabetes. By exploring the diets of countries that are significantly directed by surging rates of health concerns, valuable insights on health management can be made through lifestyle changes.
