Type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs due to

• Explanation:
-Type 2 diabetes mellitus is primarily characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells become less responsive to the action of insulin.
-This is often caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to the inactivation or decreased sensitivity of insulin receptors on the cell surface.
-While the pancreas may still produce insulin, the cells are unable to utilize it effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels.

🔑Key Points:

• Type-2 or non-insulin-based diabetes mellitus:
-This kind of diabetes is also known as insulin-independent diabetes.
-It is characterised by a small amount of insulin production by the pancreas.
-However, the amount of insulin produced is insufficient for the body's needs.
-The cells are resistant to it.
-Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is the name given to this condition.
