Diabetes mellitus (DM) is identified as a metabolic disorder, directly involving the pancreas which has a chronic effect on the body in those who are diagnosed. The lack of insulin production and/or the body’s decreased ability to use insulin effectively is what leads to the disease process causing multiple body systems to undergo changes as a result (Shrivastava, 2013).

gene transcription” (Cox, 688). When beta cells produce too little or, perhaps, no insulin at all, glucose builds up in the bloodstream rather than in the cells. Common symptoms of diabetes include: frequent urination (polyuria), frequent thirst (polydipsia) and hunger—even though one is eating sufficiently—extreme fatigue,…

Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus During Pregnancy Type 1 diabetes (type 1 diabetes mellitus) and type 2 diabetes (type 2 diabetes mellitus) are long-term (chronic) diseases. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough of a hormone called insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, one or both of these problems may be present: • The pancreas does not make enough insulin. • The cells in the body are less responsive to the insulin that is made (insulin resistance). Normally, insulin moves sugars from…
