Solution
The correct option is C Glucose
Diabetes mellitus is a term that includes many metabolic disorders in which the body no longer produces insulin or uses the insulin it produces ineffectively. Insulin converts the sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. Thirst and frequent urination are two classic diabetes mellitus signs caused by high glucose levels in the blood. As kidneys work harder to filter out the glucose, they also pull more fluids from other tissues, which is why the patient urinates more often than usual. This is the way in which the body indicates that it needs to replenish the liquids it's losing.
