Diabetes mellitus is a condition where a person's blood glucose levels reach such a high level that their urine is sweet (this was the first method of diagnosis). Diabetes mellitus is usually just referred to as diabetes and is caused by either an autoimmune reaction that destroys the pancreas's ability to create sufficient insulin (type one diabetes) or the person develops a resistance to insulin (type two diabetes).
