Type II Diabetes is insulin insensitive so although your body is producing sufficient insulin to lower blood glucose levels, your cells do not respond the way they should.
Type II diabetes is common among overweight individuals and it is thought that adipose tissue hijacks the insulin signalling pathway, and constant signalling makes the cells insensitive to insulin.

This is the most common type of diabetes. It occures when the body can't make enough insulin or when the cells will just not respond to it. Many people have this type so it is not rare. It can be controlled by dieting. Type 2 Diabetes is another name for Adult-Onset Diabetes. This is the one where your pancreas is still making insulin, but your body cells cannot absorb and use it, so the blood sugar never gets into the cells. The most common people who get this are middle-aged and overweight. The other diabetes is the one where your pancreas no longer makes insulin.
