Diabetes mellitus is defined as the metabolic disorder of multiple etiology characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with the alterations in carbohydrates, protein and fat metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, action or both. Type 1 diabetes mellitus develops when the insulin secreting pancreatic beta cells of islets of Langerhans are destroyed. This is an auto immune type of system. The type II diabetes is due to insulin resistance, i.e a disorder in which the cells within the liver, muscles and fat tissues do not use insulin properly.
