Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders in today’s world. There are many etiological factors (genetic, dietary, drugs) which are responsible for the causation of diabetes mellitus. Regardless of the cause, the disease is associated with the common normal defect, namely insulin deficiency, which may be total, partial or relative when viewed in context of co-existing insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is the fourth most common reason for patient contact with a physician, and is a major cause of premature disability and mortality.
