چکیده
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterised by inadequate insulin production or response, leading to alteration of glucose metabolism. The two main forms of diabetes mellitus are type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes mellitus involves insulin insufficiency arising from progressive immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β-islet cells. Type 2 diabetes mellitus involves end-organ insulin resistance, which may be accompanied by a progressive decrease in pancreatic insulin production.
