CONCLUSION:
Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes—is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not
produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination),
polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
In making this case study, we really appreciated how vital our organs are, we need to be careful of doing action because it may affect our life. Diabetes mellitus is a very
complex disease process if not treated appropriately. It can be lessen by having an appropriate and by controlling our lifestyle, correct diet, and the avoidance to the factors that
