In a healthy body, insulin helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream for energy. But sometimes, cells start to ignore insulin’s signals, leading to insulin resistance. The pancreas compensates by producing more insulin to “push” glucose into cells.

Over time, the pancreas struggles to keep up with the body’s increased demand for insulin, and eventually “burns out”. Blood sugar levels remain high, leading to type 2 diabetes. Once this happens, managing blood sugar becomes a lifelong task.

According to National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, 1 in 6 adults in Malaysia are affected by diabetes, and 40% of them do not know that they have diabetes. This data is alarming and serves as a critical reminder that prevention is essential — once diabetes sets in, it is irreversible.
