Definition of Diabetes Mellitus Type II:Diabetes Mellitus Type II is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate protein and fat metabolism resulting from insufficient production of insulin or from inadequate utilization of this hormone by the body cells. It is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It is also called adult onset type.

Manifestations of Diabetes Mellitus Type II: polyuria (excessive urination) polydipsia (excessive thirst) polyphagia (excessive hunger) recurrent blurred vision(develops as the lens and

retina are exposed to hyperosmolar fluids) Paresthesias (that reflect a temporary dysfunction of

peripheral sensory nerves) Skin infections (cause by the growth of yeast

microorganisms.)
