Diabetes Mellitus is one of the Most Common & Most Dreaded Metabolic Diseases
Diabetes Mellitus is a condition that affects a large number of people around the world. Estimates suggest that more than 220 million people in the world are affected from it, and around 3.4 million people may be losing their life every year because of it. Ironically, a lot of people affected by it do not even know that they are suffering from such a condition, making Diabetes Mellitus the most dangerous silent killer of our times. Worst of all, the World Health Organisation projects that the number of people dying from Diabetes will double between 2005 and 2030, making it imperative that every person on this planet becomes aware about this condition.

metabolism, resulting from inadequate or defective insulin, or defective
