This used to be called non-insulin dependent diabetes or mature-age onset diabetes.  It is by far the most common form, affecting 85-90% of all people with diabetes.  While it usually affects adults, more and more yonger people, even children, are getting type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease and is strongly associated with high blood pressure, abnormal blood fats and the classic 'apple shape' body where there is extra weight around the waist.
