∙ 13y agoDiabetes also known as Diabetes Mellitus is classified as,
a) Type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; IDDM)
b) Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; NIDDM)
Strictly speaking, the terms aren't exactly synonymous. The "Type" terminology refers to the origin of the disease, and the "insulin dependent" terminology refers to the current condition and treatment.
Type 2 diabetics can become insulin-dependent without becoming Type 1.
