Type 2 diabetes,

In type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to meet the body's needs. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 and is often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet. It typically develops in adults, but increasingly affects children and adolescents due to rising obesity rates. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed with lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and/or insulin therapy.
