Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the insulin made in the pancreas doesn't function properly, or the pancreas can't make enough insulin. This can lead to dangerously high Blood Sugar Levels which can damage organs over time. The condition is associated with causing serious complications such as kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes. High blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes can play a causal role in lung complications, according to new research. This research provides the first evidence that type 2 diabetes can directly lead to lung damage. Doctors should be "vigilant" to lung complications in people with type 2 diabetes, as the findings could help prevent hospitalisations and save lives.
