Diabetes, caused by inherited and/or acquired deficiency in pancreatic insulin production (type 1) or by insulin ineffectiveness (type 2), is one of the most chronic disease in the world. T2DM can be caused by a group of biological factors, insulin resistance and insulin deficiency are both linked to hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia Symptoms often include frequent urination, increased thirst and increased appetite. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many health complications In addition to death, diabetes also leads to many chronic conditions such as nephropathy, neuropathy, and various vascular diseases linked with kidney, retinopathy, heart, brain, and peripheral blood vessels.
