Main Article Content
Abstract
A chronic metabolic disease known as diabetes mellitus (DM) is typified by elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels. It results from either insufficient insulin production or improper insulin use by the body. The hormone insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells for energy production. Diabetes mellitus (DM) cannot be cured, but it can be controlled with medication, exercise, and a good diet. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus can lower their chance of long-term complications by managing their blood sugar levels. You can lower your chance of long-term complications and live a long and healthy life by managing your blood sugar levels and doing as your doctor advises. Around 250–300 BC, Apollonius of Memphis coined the term "diabetes." Mering and Minkowski identified the pancreas' function in the aetiology of diabetes in 1889. At the University of Toronto, Banting, Best, and Collip isolated the hormone insulin from cow pancreas in 1922, which made an efficient diabetes treatment possible. Diabetes has been the subject of amazing research over the years, leading to numerous discoveries and management techniques to address this expanding issue. Regretfully, diabetes remains one of the most prevalent chronic illnesses both domestically and globally. It continues to be the seventh most common cause of death in the US.
