From my experience, lifestyle plays a huge role. Too much processed food, not enough exercise, and weight gain are major contributors. I manage mine now with diet control and regular walks. Consistency is key, don't expect overnight results.

My dad has type 2, and the doctors always emphasize that it's mostly about diet and lack of physical activity. It's tough to change habits, but even small steps like cutting down on sugar and walking more can make a difference. It really is a lifestyle disease, mostly.

For type 2 diabetes, home remedies can support, but they aren't the solution. My aunt tried everything from bitter gourd juice to fenugreek. While they might help a little, the main causes are obesity and not moving enough. You really need to consult a doctor for proper management.

Haan, main reason toh apna lifestyle hi hai na. Bahut zyada meetha khana, tel wala khana, aur exercise na karna. Mere family mein kitno ko ho gaya hai issi wajah se. Thoda dhyan rakho bas, sab theek ho jayega.

Dude, it's mostly because of unhealthy eating and not being active enough. Like, all that junk food we college students eat? Yeah, that's not helping. Plus, if it runs in your family, you gotta be extra careful.
