5. Diabetes Mellitus
Definition
• Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease resulting from a relative or
absolute lack of insulin, which is required for carbohydrate metabolism.
• In diabetes mellitus, the pancreas does not produce sufficient amounts of
insulin to allow necessary carbohydrate metabolism.
• With inadequate amounts of insulin, glucose cannot enter the cells and
remains in the blood.

Insulin deficiency may be caused by:
◘ Damage to beta cells in the pancreas.
◘ Increased insulin ruirement as in obesity
and pregnancy.
