    What is Diabetes Mellitus?  Usually, after we eat or drink,  our body will break down sugars from our food  and use them for energy in our cells.  To accomplish this,  our pancreas needs to produce a hormone  called insulin.  Insulin facilitates  pulling sugar from the blood  and putting it in the cells for use, or energy.  Diabetes mellitus occurs  when insulin production is deficient  This results  in a high level of blood sugar in the body  Without insulin,  glucose cannot enter the body cells  and is excreted through urine,  resulting in its loss  An increase in blood glucose concentration  leads to the loss of water in cells,  via osmosis, to blood  To understand what happens in a diabetes patient,  we need to understand  what happens in the normal mechanism  Whenever the blood glucose level increases, the pancreas responds by secreting ins...
