which type of diabetes is known as insulin dependent diabetes (iddm)?

a.) type 2

b.) gestational

c.) prediabetes

d.) type 1

Explanation:

Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin - dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) because individuals with Type 1 diabetes rely on external insulin administration as their pancreas does not produce enough (or any) insulin. Type 2 diabetes is often non - insulin dependent (though some may need insulin), gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy, and prediabetes is a condition before diabetes develops, not IDDM.

Answer:

d.) Type 1
