Diabetes mellitus ist der Sammelbegriff für verschiedene Stoffwechselstörungen, deren Leitbefund eine Überzuckerung des Blutes (Hyperglykämie) ist. Mechanismen, welche zur Hyperglykämie führen, setzen überwiegend am Insulin, dem Hauptregelungshormon des Zuckerstoffwechsels im menschlichen Körper, an: absoluter Insulinmangel, relativer Insulinmangel durch eine abgeschwächte Wirksamkeit des Insulins  oder beides zusammen. Daneben besteht eine diagnostische Klasse des DM, welche primär durch Fehlernährung bestimmt ist.

Prevention and treatment involves a healthy diet, physical exercise, not using tobacco and being a normal body weight. Blood pressure control and proper foot care are also important for people with the disease. Type 1 diabetes must be managed with insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes may be treated with medications with or without insulin. Insulin and some oral medications can cause low blood sugar. Weight loss surgery in those with obesity is an effective measure in those with type 2 DM. Gestational diabetes usually resolves after the birth of the baby.
