Answer
Diabetes is a comprehensive syndrome caused by various pathogenic factors such as genetic factors, immune dysfunction, microbial infections and their toxins, free radical toxins, and psychological factors. These factors act on the body, leading to a reduction in pancreatic function and insulin resistance, triggering a series of metabolic disorders including sugar, protein, fat, water, and electrolytes.
