Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Defined

The most common form of diabetes mellitus; over 90 percent of people who have diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. The onset is usually in middle age and in most cases is thought to be due to some form of insensitivity to the action of insulin rather than to insulin deficiency. Many of the people who have this type of diabetes are overweight. Initial treatment is by weight reduction and excercise with the later addition of an increasing range of blood glucose lowering drugs. Ultimately it may be neccessary to give insulin. Increasingly, geneticists are defining specific subgroups such as Maturity Onset Diabetes in the Young; but to date, this has not led to any change in treatment plans.Type 2 diabetes used to be called noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, adult-onset diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes, ketosis-resistant diabetes, and stable diabetes.Contrast with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

This definition is in context to Diabetes. See more contextual defintions for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
