Diabetes mellitus (DM) or diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders , which affects different organs and tissues is lifelong and is characterized by increased levels of blood glucose: hyperglycaemia. It is caused by various conditions, including low production of the hormone insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells, or by its improper use by the body, that will affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. The main symptoms of diabetes mellitus are excessive emission of urine (polyuria), increased the need abnormal eating (polyphagia), increased thirst (polydipsia), and weight loss for no apparent reason. The World Health recognizes three forms of diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes (occurs during pregnancy), each with different reasons and with different influence.
