Diabetes is caused by combined abnormalities in insulin production and action. The pathophysiology of these defects has been studied extensively and is reasonably well understood. The discovery of insulin represents an authentic breakthrough, characterized, at the same time, by contrasts, controversies and disputes among scholars, as well as by great disappointments, failures and hopes. The prevalence of this disease is increasing at a very fast and alarming rate and by 2035; 592 million people will be diabetic worldwide. Majority of diabetic people live in low and middle income countries and India is at second position in diabetes prevalence. There is an increase in the prevalence of type-1diabetes also, but main cause of diabetic epidemic is type-2 diabetes mellitus, which accounts for more than 90 percent of all diabetes cases. Type2 diabetes is a serious and common chronic disease resulting from a complex inheritance- environment interaction along with other risk factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyle.
