Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness that prevents the body from properly using insulin. Insulin tolerance is a term used to describe the condition in people with type 2 diabetes. Dyslipidaemia is characterised as abnormally high or low lipid levels in the blood. Lipids in the blood are oily compounds like triglycerides and cholesterol. Many people maintain their health by maintaining a well-balanced diet and making some lifestyle changes. Some people, however, need diabetes treatment to avoid further health issues.
