Causes of Diabetes - symptoms of diabetes - treatment of diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by the condition of hyperglycemia as distinct from a single disease or condition.


Diabetes mellitus is the most prominent disease related to failure of blood sugar regulation.

The Fasting blood glucose (FBG) level gives the best indication of overall glucose homeostasis, and most routine determinations should be done on fasting samples.

If blood sugar levels drop too low, a potentially fatal condition called hypoglycemia develops.
