Hyperglycemia and improper glucose, protein, and lipid metabolism are hallmarks of diabetes mellitus (DM). Type-2 DM is called insulin resistance and insulin shortage. Also, the interplay of genetic, environmental, and behavioral risk factors also contributes to DM. It affects adults and the elderly, with an ever-increasing global prevalence. Furthermore, diabetic patients are particularly sensitive to microvascular and macrovascular problems, which can lead to early death. Despite specific anti-diabetic treatment exists the rising prevalence of the disease necessitates the development of newer anti-hyperglycemic medications. Diabetes mellitus is difficult to control; however, early diagnosis and treatment, along with lifestyle changes, aid in the long-term management of the disease. Furthermore, even if you have a family history of diabetes, living a healthy lifestyle can help you avoid the disease.
