D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease of inadequate control of blood levels of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main difference between the type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time. With type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -In type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells start to resist the effects of insulin. This means glucose cannot enter the cells. Instead, it builds up in the blood and higher levels of insulin are required to allow it to enter the cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Description. Type 2 diabetes is a disorder characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels. In this form of diabetes, the body stops using and making insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease. It is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is also called type 2 diabetes mellitus and adult-onset diabetes. That’s because it used to start almost always in middle-and late-adulthood.
