Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin resistance is a condition often associated with obesity, desensitization, and down-regulation of insulin receptors, leading to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). However, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), also known as Type 1 diabetes, is primarily an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to an absolute insulin deficiency, rather than insulin resistance.
