Lexeme: type 2 diabetes  
Inferred
Definition:
  1. noun. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of blood sugar (glucose). It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar by allowing glucose to enter cells to be used as energy. Without sufficient insulin or insulin resistance, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to various health complications over time. Type 2 diabetes is often linked to obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic factors, and it can be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels. GPT3.5
