Q. Diabetes is the most common disorder associated with:

Correct Answer: d) Pancreas

Explanation:

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder primarily associated with the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. In diabetes:

– Type 1 Diabetes: The immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production.

– Type 2 Diabetes: The pancreas may produce insulin, but the body becomes resistant to it, or the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs.

While diabetes can lead to complications affecting other organs like the kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), the root cause of the disorder lies in the dysfunction of the pancreas. Hence, the correct answer is d) Pancreas.
