non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses, a lack of insulin may also develop. This form was previously referred to as 'non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus' (NIDDM) or 'adult-onset diabetes'. The most common cause is a combination of excessive body weight and insufficient exercise.[from Wikipedia]

 diabetesDiabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is due to either the Pancreas not producing enough insulin, or the Cells of the body not responding properly to the Insulin produced. Diabetes, if left untreated, leads to many health complications. Untreated or poorly treated diabetes accounts for approximately 1.5 million Deaths per year. There is no widely accepted cure for most cases of diabetes. The most common treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin replacement therapy (insulin injections). Anti-diabetic medications such as metformin and semaglutide, as well as lifestyle modifications, can be used to prevent or respond to type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes normally resolves shortly after delivery.[from Wikipedia]
