True or False: Type II diabetes is known as insulin-dependent diabetes?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Common misconception

  4. Only applies to children

The correct answer is: False

Type II diabetes is not referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes; that classification applies to Type I diabetes. Type I diabetes is typically characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin, which is why individuals with this type are dependent on insulin therapy to regulate their blood sugar levels. In contrast, Type II diabetes is more often associated with insulin resistance, where the body does produce insulin but the cells do not respond effectively to it. Over time, some individuals with Type II diabetes may require insulin therapy, but it is not universally the case as it is with Type I diabetes. This distinction is crucial in understanding the differences between the two types of diabetes and their management, highlighting why the assertion that Type II diabetes is insulin-dependent is incorrect.
