Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, or both, with three main types: Type 1 (autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells), Type 2 (insulin deficiency with insulin resistance), and Gestational Diabetes (occurring during pregnancy); common symptoms include polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, fatigue, and blurred vision, while diagnosis involves fasting blood glucose, HbA1c test, or Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, and management includes insulin therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs, healthy diet, regular exercise, and blood glucose monitoring, with early diagnosis and lifestyle modification leading to better long-term outcomes.
