Abstract

Studies show that there are various illnesses which have been discovered of late and majority of these can be healed through the use of drugs and other hospital treatments. However, there are also those which remain in the body for an uncertain period of time and can only be treated to prevent its spread. These are referred to as chronic illnesses or chronic diseases (Holetzky, 2008). People with unhealthy living conditions are common targets for these kinds of diseases. Another possible cause is through heredity or genetic transfer but never through contagion or contact with other people. (Holetzky, 2008). Patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses cope with their situation through a series of treatments such as medicine intake, frequent check-ups, surgery, support groups and many more. Many are fortunate to have adjusted to their states without affecting their daily lives (Holetzky, 2008). In line with chronic illnesses, this paper shall focus on type 2 Diabetes and provide an overview on the said disease. Its effects on the physical, emotional and psychological state of the patient shall be discussed.
