Overview Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic endocrine disorder that arises due to inadequate insulin secretion or the body’s inability to effectively utilize insulin. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, is essential for maintaining normal blood glucose levels.
This program provides a comprehensive understanding of the three major types of Diabetes Mellitus:
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Gestational Diabetes
Globally, over 830 million people are affected by diabetes. Poorly controlled diabetes can result in serious complications involving vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, heart, and nervous system.
