Answer to Question 1
Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which blood glucose is unable to enter the cells because the pancreas either stops producing insulin or does not produce enough to meet the body's needs. The two types of diabetes are type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and type 2, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Type 1 has also been known as juvenile diabetes because it afflicts mainly young people. With type 1, the pancreas produces little or no insulin. With type 2, the pancreas either does not produce sufficient insulin or produces adequate amounts but the cells become insulin-resistant, thereby keeping glucose from entering the cell.
