Diabetes mellitus is a condition of high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or utilization by the body. Increased glucose utilization is not a characteristic of diabetes mellitus, as the body is not effectively utilizing glucose due to either inadequate insulin production or insulin resistance. Polyuria, acidosis due to ketosis, and polydipsia are all common characteristics of diabetes mellitus.
