Diabetes Mellitus (DM), a collection of illnesses characterised by unusually high blood sugar (glucose) levels, is caused when the body is unable to make any or enough insulin or is unable to efficiently use insulin to synthesis glucose required for cellular energy. Type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes are the most prevalent forms of the disease. Unsettlingly, according to some studies, type 2diabetes is likely to be the largest epidemic in human history due to the disease’s worldwide burden and rising prevalence.
