        abstract = {Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder marked by chronic hyperglycemia, affecting an estimated 366 million people in 2011, with projections of nearly 552 million by 2030, and diagnosis can be approached via either fasting plasma glucose or oral glucose tolerance tests, making consistent follow-up with healthcare providers crucial to prevent long-term complications. The various classes of diabetes mellitus, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, are examined regarding their diagnostic criteria, causes, and genetic factors, alongside a review of recent extensive research into the molecular genetics and mutations affecting glucose metabolism and pancreatic cell functions. Despite the wealth of molecular and cellular data, the processes behind diabetes development and complications remain unclear, highlighting the necessity for further research to enhance diagnostics, treatments, and reduce chronic complications. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by prolonged high blood sugar levels, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, increased thirst, and hunger, and if untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, with three main types identified. Type 1 diabetes, formerly known as insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes, arises from insufficient insulin production, while Type 2 diabetes, once referred to as non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset diabetes, begins with insulin resistance and may also involve reduced insulin production as it advances.},
