Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin or cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced, so that glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed into the cells of the body. Symptoms include frequent urination, lethargy, excessive thirst, and hunger. The treatment includes changes in diet, oral medications, and in some cases, daily injections of insulin.

Is Diabetes a virus or bacteria?

Diabetes is neither a virus or a bacteria. Diabetes is an abnormally high blood sugar level caused by a person's inability to process glucose due to insufficient insulin production. On the contrary: Diabetes type 1 can be caused by a virus, (and sometimes in diabetes type 2). Research has found that viral infections occur mainly in the beta cells of the pancreas. They can effect the structure and function of the pancreas in producing enough insulin, thus causing diabetes in severe cases. The coxsackie viruses are the main ones being implicated.
