Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels. There are two main types: Type 1 occurs when the body does not produce insulin, while Type 2 occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces does not work properly. Long-term complications of diabetes include damage to blood vessels and nerves, which can lead to conditions affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, and feet. The pancreas normally regulates blood sugar levels through the hormones insulin and glucagon.
