Question

Type II diabetes is an autoimmune disorder.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Type II diabetes is mostly seen in youngsters, often adolescents. This form is due to destruction of the receptors for insulin on cells. It is an autoimmune disorder which results in insulin being relatively useless, as it is unable to pull glucose into cells without its receptor. This form of diabetes does not require insulin injections, and can be treated with a proper diet and exercise.
