Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels resulting from either inadequate insulin production or the body's inability to respond effectively to insulin. This can lead to various complications affecting multiple organ systems if left uncontrolled. Proper management often involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
