Verified step by step guidance

Understand the characteristics of diabetes mellitus: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to either insufficient insulin production or the body's inability to use insulin effectively.

Identify common symptoms of diabetes mellitus: Frequent urination (polyuria) and excessive thirst (polydipsia) are common symptoms due to the body's attempt to eliminate excess glucose through urine and the resulting dehydration.

Analyze the given options: The options provided are frequent urination, excessive thirst, decreased insulin production in the pancreas, and increased blood glucose levels.

Evaluate each option: Frequent urination and excessive thirst are symptoms of diabetes mellitus. Increased blood glucose levels are a defining characteristic of the condition.

Determine the correct answer: Decreased insulin production in the pancreas is a characteristic of type 1 diabetes mellitus, but not a universal characteristic of all types of diabetes mellitus, making it the correct answer to the question.
