Solution

The correct option is B Type 2
  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that results in high sugar level in the blood or high blood glucose.
  • Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced.
  • Type 1 DM results from the failure of the beta cells of the pancreas to produce enough insulin.
  • Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
