Diabetes mellitus, also referred to as sugar diabetes, is a disease of the pancreas. The body converts sugars and starches from food into a form of sugar called glucose. Glucose then enters the bloodstream. The pancreas secretes insulin, which is a hormone that assists the cells in using the glucose as a fuel for energy.
