Best Answer

The causes of Diabetes mellitus can be either that the body does not produce enough insulin or that the body does not respond properly to the insulin that is produced. There are numerous types of diabetes and the symptoms vary with each. Common symptoms are increased urination, thirst and/or hunger. Often blurred vision is another symptom.
