Abstract

Introduction

Diabetes is the most common endocrine disease. It is a heterogeneous primary disorder of carbohydrate metabolism with multiple etiologic factors that generally involve absolute or relative insulin deficiency or insulin resistance or both. All causes of Diabetes Mellitus lead to hyperglyc-emia, which is the hail mark of this disease syndrome.

In all types of Diabetes Mellitus, the glucose tolerance is reduced. The theory of glucose tolerance is that a normal person should be able to remove a glucose load from plasma with in a short specified period of time. If for some reason he is unable to do so, the plasma concentration remains elevated longer than normal and the patient is said to have reduced glucose tolerance.
