ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that causes hyperglycemia due to total or subtotal deficiency of insulin along with component of insulin resistance. Persistent hyperglycemia in diabetes if not controlled adequately is known to cause various long term microvascular (Diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and Peripheral neuropathy), macrovascular (coronary artery diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, and cerebrovascular accidents) and acute metabolic complications (Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma and hypoglycemia). Several distinct types of diabetes exist like Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, Type 1.5 diabetes and Gestational diabetes which are caused by a complex interaction of genetics and environmental factors.[1][2]
