Literally, the meaning of Diabetes Mellitus is sugar in the urine. Generally characterised by high sugar levels in the blood, it is a disease that cannot be cured but can be controlled. If not successfully managed, diabetes can lead to serious medical complications including heart disease, stroke, eye and kidney problems, and problems involving the blood vessels, nerves, and feet.
Heredity and lifestyle are the major factors in the development of diabetes. Risk factors for diabetes include age over 45, overweight, a close relative with diabetes, and lack of regular exercise |

Types of Diabetes |
There are two types of diabetes: |
-
In this form of diabetes the person produces very little or no insulin. Onset is sudden, often with serious symptoms. Generally, occurs before 30 years of age -- frequently during childhood.
-
This form of diabetes is much more common, accounting for over 80% of cases. In such patients, the body's insulin production may or may not be inadequate -- the main problem appears to be that the body's cells resist insulin's sugar-regulating effects. Onset is more gradual, usually occurs in older adults
