2. Type 2 diabetes – Type 2 diabetes is also known as non insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) and is more common in the children who are obese or overweight. In this case there is a very less production of insulin which is insufficient to fulfill the body’s need. This condition further leads to insulin resistance.
