Type 2 diabetes

Type II diabetes is also called adult-onset diabetes. It usually develops after the age of 35 to 40, accounting for more than 90% of patients with diabetes. The type 2 diabetic patient's ability to produce insulin is not completely lost. Some patients even produce too much insulin, but the effect of insulin is greatly reduced, so the patient's insulin is a relative deficiency. Some oral medications can stimulate insulin secretion in the body. But in the later stages, some patients still need insulin treatment like type 1 diabetes.
