Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder, characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. Out of several known subtypes of DM, primarily type 1 DM (T1DM) and type 2 DM (T2DM) are prevalent Diabetes is an autoimmune condition that affects the way your body metabolizes blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for your body, but when you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels) or doesn’t use it properly.
Diabetes can have serious health consequences if left untreated or poorly managed. High blood sugar levels over time can damage your nerves, blood vessels, and organs, leading to complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision loss.
