Diabetes Mellitus is a disease caused by defective carbohydrate metabolism and is due to an inability of the pancreas to secrete sufficient insulin to maintain a normal blood-glucose concentration.
Diabetes occurs when the body cannot make use of the glucose in the blood for energy because either the pancreas is not able to make enough insulin or the insulin that is available is not effective.
Diabetes is a serious metabolic disorder that occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin to convert food to the energy required to maintain a healthy body.
