Type 2 Diabetes: It is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or make good use of the insulin produced. Type 2 diabetes or non insulin dependent diabetes more common in adults and most likely develops after the age of 35 years. Oral medication is prescribed to help control blood glucose levels.
