Identify the disease that is caused due to inadequate secretion of the hormone insulin from the pancreas?

Diabetes mellitus

 The correct answer is Option (2) -Diabetes mellitus

The disease caused due to inadequate secretion of the hormone insulin from the pancreas is Diabetes mellitus.

Explanation:

1. Diabetes Mellitus: This is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. It occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
2. Insulin: Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar. It allows cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream, lowering blood sugar levels.
3. Inadequate Insulin Secretion: In diabetes mellitus, there are two main types:
• Type 1 Diabetes: The immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to little to no insulin production.
• Type 2 Diabetes: The body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, and the pancreas may not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
4. Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus:
• Increased thirst and hunger
• Frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision
