उत्तर
If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Assertion (A) is true. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose levels), which occurs due to the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or effectively use the insulin it produces.
Reason (R) is true. Insulin is a vital hormone secreted by the pancreas that facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells from the bloodstream for energy or storage. Moving glucose out of the blood and into cells naturally lowers blood sugar levels.
