Abstract:
Diabetes is a disease that is now spreading like an epidemic
around the globe. Diabetics is a chronic disease that occurs
when the blood sugar or glucose in the body is not controlled
or broken down. It may be caused either when the body does
not react to the insulin produced naturally in the body or
when the produced insulin is insufficient. The latest WHO
statistics points diabetics as a life-threatening disease
condition with an estimated 1.6 million deaths worldwide.
The word diabetics mellitus is of Greek origin that means 'to
pass through honey or sweet'.
