Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Melitus(Type 2) - NIDDM

Overview

NIDDM stands for Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, which is also commonly known as Type 2 diabetes. This form of diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, meaning that the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed into cells for energy, leading to high blood sugar levels.
