Extrait Diabetes Mellitus An Overview Diabetes mellitus, or ?diabetes? as it is commonly known, is a disorder of metabolism?the way our bodies use food to obtain energy. The most apparent disturbance in diabetes is with carbohydrate metabolism and is classically characterized by an elevated blood sugar and often the excretion of sugar in the urine. To understand diabetes, it is necessary to know how the body functions normally to convert food substances into energy. The human body may be thought of as a machine that requires ?fuel? to function. As we walk down the street, hit a baseball, or just take a breath, we expend energy. The body's fuel is obtained from the food we eat?carbohydrates (sugars and starches), proteins, and fats. Food must be digested?broken down in the gastrointestinal tract?before it can be absorbed. Complex carbohydrates such as those in vegetables and whole grains are composed of long-chain molecules that are broken down by the digestive enzymes into their simple sugar components. All the simple sugars are eventually converted into glucose, the body's main fuel, which is the form of sugar required by the body's cells for energy. Proteins are broken down by the digestive enzymes into their constituent amino acids. Fats are digested to fatty acids. Your body is comprised of billions of cells, the smallest units of living matter. Eac
