Type II Diabetes Mellitus: It is a chronic and lifelong condition wherein the body doesn’t use insulin effectively, which causes unusual blood glucose levels. Therefore, people affected with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin. Individuals middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, weight gain, and blurred vision.
