Abstract
Introduction
Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by insufficient production of insulin or by the failure to respond appropriately to insulin, resulting in hyperglycemia. The mounting incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes, driven by increasing population age, obesity, and physical inactivity, compound this high global burden as does the increasing longevity of patients with diabetes.
Globally, as of 2010, an estimated 285 million people had diabetes, with type 2 making up about 90% of the cases. In 2013, according to International Diabetes Federation, an estimated 381 million people had diabetes. Its prevalence is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number is estimated to almost double.
