Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is the century's epidemic and diabetes continues to increase at an early phase without appropriate diagnostic techniques. Data shows that about 1 in 4 persons with this illness are unaware. Type 2 diabetes is defined as relative insulin deficiency caused by β-cells (present in the pancreas) dysfunction. It is a chronic complex disorder that requires patient self-management for control of abnormal glucose levels and continuous medical care, and multifactorial risk reduction strategies to normalize blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, and blood pressure to avert or diminish short and long term issues.
