Insulin Sensitivity [description not available] | 0 | 3.5 | 8 | 0 |
Insulin Resistance Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS. | 0 | 8.5 | 8 | 0 |

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY. | 0 | 2.41 | 2 | 0 |

Symptom Cluster [description not available] | 0 | 1.98 | 1 | 0 |
Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY). | 0 | 1.98 | 1 | 0 |
Syndrome A characteristic symptom complex. | 0 | 1.98 | 1 | 0 |
Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. | 0 | 2.4 | 2 | 0 |
Hyperglycemia, Postprandial Abnormally high BLOOD GLUCOSE level after a meal. | 0 | 1.99 | 1 | 0 |
Compensatory Hyperinsulinemia A GLUCOSE-induced HYPERINSULINEMIA, a marker of insulin-resistant state. It is a mechanism to compensate for reduced sensitivity to insulin. | 0 | 1.99 | 1 | 0 |
Hyperglycemia Abnormally high BLOOD GLUCOSE level. | 0 | 1.99 | 1 | 0 |
Hyperinsulinism A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS. | 0 | 1.99 | 1 | 0 |
Muscle Relaxation That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position. | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
