E11: Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a health condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It's a chronic condition that develops when the body either becomes resistant to insulin, a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells, or your pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Common symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, constant hunger, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing sores and frequent infections. While it's more common in adults, its incidence in children is on the rise largely due to the increasing rate of childhood obesity. Various organ systems can be affected, including the kidneys, eyes, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
