Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin production and secretion‚ decreased cellular response to insulin‚ or both. This leads to hyperglycemia‚ which may lead to acute metabolic complications‚ such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS).
