Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects how the body processes glucose (blood sugar). It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. It is one of the most common long-term health conditions worldwide and can affect people of all ages. With early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, and regular monitoring, many people with diabetes can effectively manage their blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
