Type II diabetes is classified as:

  1. Non-insulin dependent diabetes

  2. Insulin-dependent diabetes

  3. Type I diabetes

  4. Type III diabetes

The correct answer is: Insulin-dependent diabetes

Type II diabetes is classified as non-insulin dependent diabetes. This means that individuals with this condition still produce insulin, but their bodies do not utilize it effectively, resulting in insulin resistance. This is distinct from Type I diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all, requiring individuals to take insulin externally to manage their blood glucose levels. Type III diabetes is a term that is not officially recognized in medical classifications; it is sometimes used in contexts such as discussing insulin resistance related to cognitive decline, but it does not pertain to the formal classification of diabetes types. Understanding this classification is crucial for developing appropriate treatment plans and lifestyle interventions to help manage the condition effectively, as Type II diabetes often responds well to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, in addition to medications when necessary.
