Which of the following is not a characteristics of Type 1 diabetes mellitus?
Answer: C
The feature that does not belong to type 1 diabetes is insulin resistance.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, which leads to an absolute insulin deficiency. It most often begins in childhood or adolescence, and patients need insulin from the start.
Insulin resistance, where the tissues respond poorly to insulin that is present, is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, usually in older and overweight adults. The other three options describe type 1 correctly, so they cannot be the answer.
