    • Art 2 Par 1 (global para num: P12)

      • Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which blood levels of glucose (a simple sugar) are abnormally high because the body doesn't release or use insulin adequately.
    • Art 2 Par 7 (global para num: P18)

      • Insulin, a hormone released from the pancreas, is the primary substance responsible for maintaining appropriate blood sugar levels.
    • Art 2 Par 9 (global para num: P20)

      • The rise in blood sugar levels after eating or drinking stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, preventing a greater rise in blood sugar levels and causing them to fall gradually.
    • Art 2 Par 10 (global para num: P21)

      • Because muscles use glucose for energy, blood sugar levels can also fall during physical activity.
    • Art 6 Par 1 (global para num: P93)

      • Diabetes mellitus is a common condition characterized by high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

  • CLUSTER 2
    • Art 2 Par 2 (global para num: P13)

      • Doctors often use the full name diabetes mellitus, rather than diabetes alone, to distinguish this disorder from diabetes insipidus, a relatively rare disease.
    • Art 4 Par 1 (global para num: P55)

      • Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a commonly found endocrine disorder of the pancreas.

    • Art 3 Par 6 (global para num: P41)

      • An organ called the pancreas makes insulin.
    • Art 3 Par 9 (global para num: P44)

      • This is because their pancreas does not make enough insulin, or their muscle, fat and liver do not respond to insulin normally, or both.
    • Art 5 Par 3 (global para num: P74)

      • The pancreas, a long, thin organ located behind the stomach, makes insulin.
    • Art 5 Par 4 (global para num: P75)

      • Normally the pancreas makes extra insulin when a person eats.
    • Art 6 Par 17 (global para num: P109)

  • CLUSTER 6
    • Art 2 Par 11 (global para num: P22)

      • Diabetes results when the body doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels or when cells don't respond appropriately to insulin.
    • Art 3 Par 1 (global para num: P36)

      • Diabetes is a life-long disease of high blood sugar caused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
    • Art 3 Par 15 (global para num: P50)

      • The pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin.
    • Art 5 Par 11 (global para num: P82)

      • A person with this type of diabetes produces little or no insulin and needs regular insulin injections to survive.
    • Art 5 Par 14 (global para num: P85)

      • Someone with type 2 diabetes might produce normal or even high levels of insulin, but obesity makes his or her body resistant to its effect.
    • Art 6 Par 2 (global para num: P94)

      • This condition occurs when the pancreas produces insufficient amounts of the hormone insulin, or the body's tissues become resistant to normal or even high levels of insulin, or a combination of both of these problems.
    • Art 6 Par 11 (global para num: P103)

      • This type of diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces very little insulin or no insulin at all.

      • People with type I diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent diabetes) produce little or no insulin at all.
    • Art 2 Par 18 (global para num: P29)
