NIDDM is an acronym for which condition?

Non-Invasive Diagnostic Device Model
National Institute for Digital Database Management
Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Nuclear Imaging Detection and Diagnostics Module

The correct answer is: Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

NIDDM stands for Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus. Option A, Non-Invasive Diagnostic Device Model, refers to a type of tool or technology, rather than a medical condition. Option B, National Institute for Digital Database Management, is not related to diabetes. Option D, Nuclear Imaging Detection and Diagnostics Module, also does not pertain to diabetes. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer. This condition is also known as Type 2 diabetes, where the body is still able to produce insulin but is not able to use it effectively.
