    This document provides an overview of diabetes mellitus for laypeople. It defines diabetes as a disease where the body does not properly produce or use insulin. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1, usually diagnosed in children and dependent on insulin treatment, and type 2, the most common type associated with obesity in adults. Common symptoms of high blood sugar are increased thirst, hunger, urination and fatigue. Left uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to serious health complications, so monitoring blood sugar levels and receiving appropriate treatment is important. Treatment may involve diet, exercise, oral medications or insulin to control blood sugar and prevent health issues.
