Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes can develop due to a mutation in the insulin receptor (I) or in individuals with insulin resistance (II). It does not result in hypersensitivity to insulin release (III), but rather the opposite. Type 2 diabetes is typically treated with drugs that increase insulin sensitivity and/or secretion, not drugs that decrease AMPK activity (IV). Therefore, only choices I and II are correct.

Type 2 Diabetes (I)can Develop Due to a Mutation in the Insulin Receptor
