Diabetes
Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is due to either the Pancreas not producing enough insulin, or the Cells of the body not responding properly to the Insulin produced. Diabetes, if left untreated, leads to many health complications. Untreated or poorly treated diabetes accounts for approximately 1.5 million Deaths per year. There is no widely accepted cure for most cases of diabetes. The most common treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin replacement therapy (insulin injections). Anti-diabetic medications such as metformin and semaglutide, as well as lifestyle modifications, can be used to prevent or respond to type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes normally resolves shortly after delivery.[from Wikipedia]
Relationships      
Parents DiseaseOrSyndrome A BiologicalAttribute which qualifies something that alters or interferes with a normal process, state or activity of an Organism. It is usually characterized by the abnormal functioning of one or more of the host's systems, parts, or Organs.
InstancesAbstractProperties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium. Instances of Abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place and time without some physical encoding or embodiment.
 AttributeQualities which we cannot or choose not to reify into subclasses of.
 BiologicalAttributeAttributes that apply specifically to instances of OrganicObject (Organism or AnatomicalStructure).
 DiabetesGestationalDiabetes mellitus (DM), commonly known as just diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. Symptoms often include frequent urination, increased thirst and increased appetite. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many health complications. Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, or death. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, damage to the nerves, damage to the eyes and cognitive impairment.[from Wikipedia]

 EntityThe universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
 InternalAttributeAny Attribute of an Entity that is an internal property of the Entity, e.g. its shape, its color, its fragility, etc.
 DiabetesType2Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses, a lack of insulin may also develop. This form was previously referred to as 'non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus' (NIDDM) or 'adult-onset diabetes'. The most common cause is a combination of excessive body weight and insufficient exercise.[from Wikipedia]
 DiabetesType1Type 1 diabetes results from failure of the pancreas to produce enough insulin due to loss of beta cells. This form was previously referred to as 'insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus' (IDDM) or 'juvenile diabetes'. The loss of beta cells is caused by an autoimmune response. The cause of this autoimmune response is unknown.[from Wikipedia]
