Sugar surplus
Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a chronic disease of insulin deficiency or resistance. It’s characterized by disturbances in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. This leads to elevated levels of the sugar glucose in the body. The disease appears in two primary forms:
- type 1, previously referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
- type 2, previously referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
