Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-Up of Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. It occurs when the pancreas produces insufficient insulin or when the body's cells become resistant to insulin, preventing glucose from being used effectively for energy. Without appropriate diagnosis and management, diabetes may affect multiple organs and increase the risk of long-term complications. Early diagnosis, individualized treatment, and regular follow-up are essential for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and supporting overall health.
