AILMENTS: Diabetes Mellitus, or more commonly known as diabetes, is caused due to high concentration of glucose in the body. from the previous statement it is clear that there is less insulin in the body, thus, the extra glucose. this is also the reason why diabetes patients take an insulin shot. in this case, the person excretes a lot of urine and feels thirsty due to loss of water (through urination). in some cases, there is over secretion of insulin resulting in less glucose level.
