Solution
Diabetes mellitus disease is caused due to undersecretion of insulin.
Explanation:
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the beta cells in the pancreas do not produce enough insulin. Insulin is the essential hormone that helps your body’s cells take up glucose (sugar) from the blood to use for energy. When there is an undersecretion of insulin, glucose cannot enter cells efficiently, causing it to build up in the bloodstream and leading to high blood sugar levels.
