Diabetes (type 2) is a disease in which the body does not make or use insulin well.

• A. Diabetes (type 2)
• B. Diabetes mellitus
• C. Cushing's syndrome
• D. Ultrasound

Answer: (A)

Type 2 diabetes is defined by the body's cells not using insulin effectively (insulin resistance) and often not producing enough insulin as the condition progresses. The statement “the body does not make or use insulin well” describes this pattern, so naming Type 2 diabetes fits precisely. Diabetes mellitus is the umbrella term for high blood sugar conditions, including Type 1 and Type 2, so it’s broader than what the prompt specifies. Cushing's syndrome is a hormone-related condition due to excess cortisol, not about insulin use. Ultrasound is an imaging test, not a disease. Therefore, the option naming Type 2 diabetes is the best match.
