Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes is defined by insulin resistance, meaning that the target tissues (such as muscle and fat cells) do not respond well to insulin. This leads to hyperglycemia and other metabolic abnormalities. The pancreatic beta cells may be able to produce insulin at first, but over time they can become exhausted and insulin production may decrease. Hypoglycemia is not typically a symptom of type 2 diabetes, and severe ketoacidosis is rare.
