Which of the following is NOT a common type of infectious disease?

Diabetes is categorized as a chronic disease rather than an infectious disease. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites and can spread from person to person. In contrast, diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period, and it is not caused by an infectious agent nor does it transmit between individuals.

In this context, chicken pox, scarlet fever, and mumps are all examples of infectious diseases. They are caused by specific pathogens (varicella-zoster virus for chicken pox, Streptococcus bacteria for scarlet fever, and mumps virus for mumps) and can be spread through various means, including direct contact and respiratory droplets.
