The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Diabetes Mellitus**: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective use of insulin by the body. 2. **Role of Insulin**: Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood glucose levels. It facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. 3. **Hyperglycemia**: In diabetes mellitus, there is either a deficiency of insulin or the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin. This leads to elevated levels of glucose in the blood. 4. **Symptoms of Diabetes**: One common symptom of diabetes is polyuria, which is the increased production of urine. This occurs because the kidneys filter out excess glucose from the blood, leading to increased urine output. 5. **Excretion of Glucose**: When blood glucose levels are excessively high, the kidneys cannot reabsorb all the glucose, resulting in glucose being excreted in the urine. This is known as glucosuria. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, in a patient with diabetes mellitus who drinks more water (to cope with increased thirst due to dehydration from frequent urination), the extra substance eliminated from the blood is glucose (sugar). **Final Answer**: The patient eliminates extra amounts of sugar from the blood. ---
