Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone that helps the body’s tissues absorb glucose (sugar) so it can be used as a source of energy. The condition may also develop if muscle cells, fat and liver do not respond well to insulin. In people with diabetes, glucose levels build up in blood and urine, causing excessive urination, thirst, hunger, and problems with fat and protein metabolism.
Diabetes mellitus differs from the less common diabetes insipidus, which is caused by the lack of the hormone vasopressin that controls the amount of urine secreted.
