  1. type ii diabetes

    Type II diabetes, also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes glucose (sugar), the body's main source of energy. This type of diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body either resists the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into cells — or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. Unlike type I diabetes, where the body cannot produce insulin, in type II diabetes the body still makes some insulin, but it cannot use it the right way. It commonly appears in people over the age of 40, but can also occur in younger people, particularly with increasing obesity rates.
