Metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes are interconnected health conditions rooted in insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Metabolic syndrome encompasses a cluster of risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels, abnormal lipid profiles, and inflammation, which collectively heighten the risk of developing pre-diabetes and ultimately progressing to type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetes represents a state of elevated blood sugar levels that fall between normal and diabetic ranges and often precedes type 2 diabetes. These conditions share common risk factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics, underscoring the importance of lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management in preventing their progression and managing their impact on overall health.
Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional Western medicine with complementary and alternative therapies. It emphasizes a holistic view of health, focusing on the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Integrative medicine seeks to provide personalized and comprehensive care, incorporating evidence-based treatments alongside practices such as acupuncture, nutrition counselling, mindfulness, and other complementary therapies to promote healing and overall wellness.
