"Your body produces some insulin but not enough to help move glucose into the cells."

"Your cells have become resistant to glucose and you will have to change your diet."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A- Type 2 diabetes is multifactorial- both genetic and lifestyle have a role in its development. Individuals with a positive family history for diabetes are more likely to develop the illness. Exposure to sedentary lifestyle increases the risk even more in these individuals.

This condition is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, and by a relative insulin deficiency, where the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin for the body's needs. Lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can be very effective in managing type 2 diabetes because they can improve the body's sensitivity to insulin and help control blood glucose levels.

Describes type 1 diabetes, where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, which is different from type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes the body produce insulin but is either inadequate or there is increased tissues resistance to insulin
