Type 2 diabetes (formerly known as adult onset diabetes or NIDDM), the most common form, has a gradual onset in adults older than 30, and more often in people over the age of 55. In this form, some pancreatic function remains, permitting control of symptoms by dietary management; in addition, an oral hypoglycemic medication is often prescribed.
