What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease where there is too much glucose in
  the blood. During digestion, the body changes food into a simple sugar called
  glucose. The glucose is absorbed into the blood and the body uses it for energy.

  the body cells where it is turned into energy or stored for future use. Insulin
  is made by the pancreas, a gland found behind the stomach.
