Diabetes Mellitus | Chapter 3 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 6

High blood glucose levels brought on by a relative or absolute lack of insulin in the bloodstream are the hallmark of diabetes mellitus, which is regarded as a chronic condition. Diabetes, one of the most chronic diseases in the world, is brought on by an inherited and/or acquired shortage in pancreatic insulin production (type 1) or by insulin inefficiency (type 2). A number of biological variables can contribute to T2DM, and hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are both correlated with insulin resistance and insulin insufficiency, respectively. Frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased appetite are common symptoms. Diabetes has a number of health consequences if untreated. Diabetes not only increases the risk of death, but also the development of numerous chronic disorders such nephropathy, neuropathy, and a number of vascular diseases affecting the kidney, retinal, heart, brain, and peripheral blood vessels. The main hormone, insulin, controls how much glucose enters most body cells from the blood.
