Type II diabetes is a non-insulin-dependent diabetes, meaning that the body is still producing insulin but is not using it effectively. It can develop at any age, but is more common in adults, especially those who are overweight or have a family history of diabetes. While it is a serious condition that can lead to other health complications, it is not currently the number-one killer in the United States.
