A
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas produces no insulin at all.
B
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and often associated with obesity.
C
Type 2 diabetes is primarily caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells.
D
Type 2 diabetes is typically diagnosed in childhood and requires insulin injections.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the nature of type 2 diabetes: It is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance.
Recognize that insulin resistance means the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, which is different from type 1 diabetes where the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
Identify common risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.
Note that type 2 diabetes is often diagnosed in adults, although it can occur in younger individuals, and management may include lifestyle changes and medications rather than insulin injections.
Clarify that type 2 diabetes is not caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells; this is characteristic of type 1 diabetes.
