Insulin: Dependent Diabetes
see type 1 diabetes.
Insulin Resistance:
many people with noninsulin-dependent diabetes produce enough
insulin, but their bodies do not respond to the action of
insulin. This may happen because the person is overweight
and has too many fat cells, which do not respond well to
insulin. Also, as people age, their body cells lose some
of the ability to respond to insulin.
