Answer 1

The correct option is D 2

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is widely classified into two types: Insulin- dependant DM (Type 1) and insulin-independant DM (Type 2).
Type 2 DM condition occurs due to two inter-related issues. Firstly, the pancreas produce less insulin and secondly the body cells respond less to insulin (resist insulin) and hence, take in less glucose for carrying our life processes. As a result, the blood sugar level in the body increases.
