Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels over a prolonged period. This condition occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
The symptoms of diabetes mellitus may vary depending on the type of diabetes, but common signs include:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst and hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Blurry vision
Slow-healing wounds
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
Increased infections
Causes & Risk Factors

Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus
Common diagnostic tests include:
Fasting Blood Sugar Test: Measures blood sugar levels after an overnight fast.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures how well the body processes sugar over time.
Hemoglobin A1c Test: Shows average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. A higher A1c indicates poorer blood sugar control.
Random Blood Sugar Test: Measures blood sugar at any time of the day.

Medication Management
Oral Medications: These help to lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity or stimulating insulin production.
Insulin Therapy: For individuals with type 1 diabetes or advanced type 2 diabetes, insulin injections or an insulin pump may be required to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
