DM can be of two types: (a) type I (insulin dependent) diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease in which beta cell dysfunction leads to little or no insulin being secreted by the pancreas; and (b) type 2 diabetes (T2DM), also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, where imbalances in insulin secretion and blood sugar absorption are observed [9]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
