Summary Introduction

Introduction: Diabetes is a metabolic disease related to high sugar level in the blood. There are two types of diabetes based on the reasons leading to this condition. The type I diabetes is the one in which the body fails to produce insulin due to the body’s own immune system destroying itself. The individuals with type II diabetes develop insulin resistance slowly over time due to various reasons such as obesity, consuming unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity.
