It's not a gland, but an organ called the pancreas. It is a vital organ that produces insulin which picks up dextrose (sugar) that is running through the blood to organs in your body, with your brain taking 60% of this food.
When a genetic defect makes a persons body attack the pancreas (instead of the virus that is in the body at the time) and its insulin cells, it destroys all the insulin cells making the person unable to obtain sugar into the organs. This is a very serious disease called type 1 Diabetes and that person receives synthetic insulin through MIT (Multiple Injection Therapy) or a pump that is attached to them constantly for the rest of their life, to compensate for what the body doesn't produce.

What gland scretes diabetes mellitus?

So pancreas is responsible for diabetes, it the cause is low insulin secretion (type II diabetes) or no insulin secretion (type I diabetes).Body cells is not sensitive to insulin, then diabetes type II is caused called as insulin resistance.
What gland secretes?
The pancreas along with glucagon and insulin.
