Diabetes Mellitus is a non-communicable disease characterized by chronic high blood sugar levels in the body, caused by the inability of the body to produce insulin (Type 1 Diabetes), insulin resistance of the body's cells (Type 2 Diabetes), or hormonal changes during pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus).
Over time, Diabetes Mellitus, when not properly managed, can damage the body's organs and blood vessels and may increase the risk of developing other non-communicable diseases.
