Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of what?

Answer 1

Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.

Answer 2

The main difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes is that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin permanently. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas still produces insulin; however, in addition to being insufficient, it cannot be fully metabolized by the body due to the insulin resistance that occurs in organs and muscles.

Answer 3

Diabetes is a result of the pancreas that has decided to either stop working or slows down a lot.
