Diabetes mellitus (DM), also popular with the name sugar, has become a very common disease. According to world health organization 347 million people worldwide have diabetes. Diabetes caused 5.1 million deaths in 2013. In India 62 million individuals have been currently diagnosed with the disease.
Diabetes not only affects adults
but children and young people are also victims. There are two common types of
diabetes mellitus: Type I DM also
called as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and Type II DM also called as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
Not any specific reason but it has been seen that genetic factors along with
environmental influences are involved. People with obesity are more vulnerable
TypeII DM. Stress, alcohol, tobacco are also risk factors. During this
discussion we shall talk about the mechanism of insulin production and its
action along with symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment and preventive measures
of the disease.
