Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an epidemic disease, with approximately 463 million persons diagnosed with it. Of those, 90% are patients with type 2 DM (T2DM). Some estimates indicate that 700 million cases of DM will be reported in 2045. T2DM develops due to insulin resistance, leading to reduced insulin secretion. DM has a number of associated complications, such as nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease.
