Answer: C. type 2

Explanation: Type 2 diabetes was once known as adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes glucose. The body may resist the effects of insulin or may not be producing enough insulin to meet its needs. Although type 2 is most common in adults, it’s increasingly affecting children as childhood obesity increases.

There’s no cure for type 2 diabetes, but there are ways to treat and manage the condition well... PF
