What is diabetes mellitus?

It is characterized by a deficiency or lack of insulin.

This lacking of insulin, which is also related to severe disturbances in carbohydrates, disorder in protein and fat metabolism.

Insulin is a friend of glucose and glycogen. So, the movement of glucose into our body parts decreases.

Consequently, the formation of glycogen decreases, leading to blood sugar rise in concentration. When blood sugar reaches a certain high concentration, the kidneys begin to excrete excess.

This is explained by frequently going to a small room (going to the toilets for a peeping) of people with diabetes mellitus.

Then, you will find the glucose appears in the urine when you go for a urination or peeping.

The presence of sugar in the blood, raises the urine pressure. More water and other useful electrolytes are thus excreted more than usual.

The affected person become excessively dehydrated and experience great thirst (polydipsia).

The name of this condition is derived from "diabetes", referring to the increased output of urine. While " mellitus" referred to honey in Latin.
