What is the metabolic abnormality that underlies the characteristic symptoms of diabetes mellitus?

Q. What is the metabolic abnormality that underlies the characteristic symptoms of diabetes mellitus?
A. A failure of the kidney tubules to reabsorb glucose from the urine
B. A failure of the villi of the intestine to absorb glucose from food
C. The body can't switch from glucose metabolism to fat metabolism between meals.
D. The body's cells can't retain glucose absorbed from the blood.
E. The body's cells can't absorb enough glucose from the blood.

A. I believe it is E.
Insulin, which is secreted by the Pancreas, helps to control the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. When the Pancreas does not secrete enough Insulin or none at all, the sugar remains in the blood. Then the body tries to flush out all of the sugar by drinking and urinating- two key symptoms of diabetes.


What diseases have the same symptoms of diabetes?
Q. I have all the symptoms of diabetes, except the actual sugar part. Is there any condition that has all these symptoms besides diabetes?

A. Dehydration, stress and exchaustion, pre-diabetes, Diabetes insipidus (you have all the signs of diabetes mellitus but it is because of kidney not functioning well and not of sugar).


What are the most basic symptoms of diabetes?
Q. I've always had lots of sugar, and don't seem to have symptoms of diabetes. How can I know if I have it?
Also, how do you know if you have bad blood? I ask because I've always ate unhealthy food, for like 10 years.

-bruise-like rash on your neck(mostly type 2)
