What Does NOD Stand For?
NOD stands for Nonobese Diabetic
NOD, or Nonobese Diabetic, refers to individuals who exhibit diabetes symptoms but do not fall within the typical obese category. This condition highlights a unique metabolic profile that may differ from more conventional forms of diabetes, such as Type 2, often associated with obesity. Understanding NOD is crucial for addressing the distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment approaches necessary for managing diabetes in nonobese individuals.
