Diabetes mellitus (pronounced /ˌdaɪ.əˈbiːtiːz/ or /ˌdaɪ.əˈbiːtɨs/; /mɨˈlaɪtəs/ or /ˈmɛlɨtəs/)—often referred to simply as diabetes—is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough, or does not properly respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas. Insulin enables cells to absorb glucose in order to turn it into energy. In diabetes, the body either fails to properly respond to its own insulin, does not make enough insulin, or both. This causes glucose to accumulate in the blood, often leading to various complications.
Different types of Diabetes:
Type 1: Results from the body's failure to produce insulin. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Presently almost all persons with type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections.
Type 2: Results from Insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Many people destined to develop type 2 diabetes spend many years in a state of
Pre-diabetes: Termed "America's largest healthcare epidemic,"4:10-11, pre-diabetes indicates a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. As of 2009 there are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes
Gestational diabetes: Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It may precede development of type 2 (or rarely type 1).
Many other forms of diabetes mellitus are categorized separately from these. Examples include congenital diabetes due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.

Hence the quotes inserted. This question is a "let me google that for you," so that's what I did. This site answered the question completely. In the future, like I usually do, I will include more "personal text" rather than C&P entire sections. Thanks for your concern.

It is a disease caused by deficiency of insulin harmone which cause increase a blood sugar,ketone bodies and polyurea etc.
Diabetes mellitus means high level of sugar or glucose in blood than normal.
Diabetes mellitus is caused due to low or no insulin secretion or improper utilization of insulin (ineffective use of insulin - insulin resistance).
Type I diabetes mellitus is caused by autoimmune disorder, that is our body immune system mistakenly attacking pancreas by considering as enemy. Pancreas islet cells got affected and causes no insulin secretion that why type 1 diabetes need insulin injections.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is called due to improper use of available insulin, due to insulin resistance caused by high level in fat in the muscle cells which make it senseless or low sense to insulin.
