Due to this insulin resistance, blood glucose levels rise. In type 2 diabetes, the body either produces insufficient insulin or the insulin produced is not utilised effectively. This condition is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and is commonly referred to as mature onset diabetes, as it typically develops after middle age.
