Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity and family history, and is characterized by deficient insulin production. Hyperinsulinism is the opposite condition, where there is excessive insulin production. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Diabetes insipidus is a condition where there is insufficient production of antidiuretic hormone, resulting in excessive urination and thirst, and does not involve insulin production.
