Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 Diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.

Being Overweight is a Major Cause of Diabetes?
Your weight is your biggest risk factor for developing diabetes. Fat cells cause the body to release more insulin, resulting in insulin resistance.
When target cells are less sensitive to the effects of insulin in Type II diabetes suggests?
The cause of this resistance to insulin is unknown, although a reduction in the number of insulin receptors may be the problem.
What gland scretes diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes is caused by any defect onlow or no secretion of insulin orimproper use of insulinInsulin is secreted by the gland "Pancreas". So pancreas is responsible for diabetes, it the cause is low insulin secretion (type II diabetes) or no insulin secretion (type I diabetes).Body cells is not sensitive to insulin, then diabetes type II is caused called as insulin resistance.
Is the cause of diabetes environmental or hereditary?
While the exact cause of diabetes has not been completely identified yet there is evidence that both hereditary and environmental are factors. Both of them may help in the development of prediabetes and insulin resistance.
What does the inability to produce insulin cause?
The inability to produce insulin is the cause of type I diabetes mellitus. Not being able to use insulin effectively causes Type II diabetes mellitus.
What can Diabetes cause?
Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.
What are the symptoms of deficiency of the mineral chromium in humans?
Dietary deficiency of chromium is believed to be widespread in the United States, a consequence of eating too many processed foods from which the naturally occurring chromium has been removed. Chromium deficiency leads to insulin resistance, a condition in which the cells of your body do not respond to the presence of insulin. Insulin resistance can lead to elevated blood levels of insulin (hyperinsulinemia) and elevated blood levels of glucose, which can ultimately cause heart disease and diabetes. In fact, even mild dietary deficiency of chromium is associated with a medical condition known as Syndrome X, which includes hyperinsulinemia, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, high blood sugar levels, and low HDL cholesterol levels, all of which can increase your risk for heart disease.
You are insulin resistant you do not however have diabetes If you lose the weight will your insulin resistance go too along with it your chance of developing diabetes?

But yes, losing weight and keeping it off can help lower your chances dramatically.

What was the cause of diabetes?
Following are some causes of diabetes: a) Metabolic syndrome - a syndrome with 4 key features (diabetes , hypertension, obesity/overweight, and high cholesterol). b) Insulin resistance c) Hemochromatosis - iron overload causes pancreas damage that can mimic Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. d) Chronic pancreatitis - pancreas damage that can mimic diabetes. e) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - ovary cysts inhibit natural female hormones causing insulin resistance f) Carcinoid syndrome - glucose intolerance, protean manifestations, serotonin inhibits insulin production
What is the difference between insulin dependent and insulin independent diabetes?
type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and type 2 diabetes is insulin independant. basically meanind type 1 is more serious it can cause death if not treated properly. Type 2 is not insulin dependent unless the person does not exercise enough and eat right, then some Type 2 Diabetic can become insulin dependent.
