Expert Solution

Step 1

Diabetes mellitus:

A collection of common endocrine illnesses known as diabetes, sometimes known as diabetes mellitus, are characterised by persistently elevated blood sugar levels. Pregnancy can exacerbate either type 1 diabetes, which is caused by a loss of insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreas as a result of an autoimmune reaction, or type 2 diabetes, which is caused by an imbalance between blood sugar levels and insulin production (gestational diabetes). Diabetes can cause a variety of symptoms, as well as acute and long-term problems if left untreated. An estimated 1.5 million fatalities per year are caused by untreated or inadequately controlled diabetes.
