Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which over time leads to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels of the eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin. In the last thre decades, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically in countries of all income levels. The main aim of the work is to evaluate the metabolic disorders and quality of life indices of the patient with type 2 diabetes. The study was carried out within the Public Health and Medical Institution, Asociația Territorial Botanica Medical Association. The total study group consisted of 50 patients with type 2 diabetes. 34 women (68%) and 16 men (32%) participated in the study. Patients' risk factors were evaluated: overweight, smoking, alcohol, lifestyle (sedentary or active). The complications of diabetes in patients were evaluated: diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, macroangiopathy. According to the results obtained, the onset age of type 2 diabetes is between 50-59 years, the age category is represented by 60-69 years. Also, the 40-49 age group represents a high level, with a percentage of 18 %, being significant in the context of diabetes rejuvenation. The age of type 2 diabetes is between 5-10 years. Controlled diet and physical exercise can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension appear as a pathological association with maximum risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. Hypertension and type 2 diabetes coexist much more frequently than would be predicted from the calculation of individual prevalences. The relative risk to develop diabetes was 2.43 times higher in the group of hypertensive patients. Chronic degenerative complications correlate with the duration of the disease. It has been found that more than 40% of new cases of chronic renal insufficiency identified annually are due to diabetes, in particular, type 2 diabetes - 60-70% of patients have moderate or severe forms of neuropathy, 21% of patients have retinopathy. Treatment of type 2 diabetes includes taking oral antibiotics and adjusting your diet. Drug treatment stimulates the secretion of insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels. At the same time, patients diagnosed with such a condition will periodically check their blood sugar through outpatient testing, give up alcohol, quitting smoking and adopt a special diet, in which the consumption of carbohydrates will be carefully programmed. Complications of type 2 diabetes have a fairly high yield, even if there is only one complication, thus diabetic encephalopathy, it has a efficiency of 42%, which is 21 cases in the study group. It is necessary for the patient to realize that diabetes is a special lifestyle and everything coming is already a consequence of diabetes.
