Introduction: Diabetes is a serious hormonal disease. In this condition, the body cells are unable to absorb glucose from the blood, either because there is not enough insulin in the blood (type 1 diabetes) or the target cells are not responding to insulin (type 2 diabetes). The treatment for diabetes is available but there is no cure. Type 1 diabetes patients require regular injection of insulin, and type 2 diabetes is associated with overweight and under activity. By controlling sugar intake and exercising and dieting to reduce weight, type 2 diabetes can be managed without medications. Despite the available treatment, every year people die from diabetes or its complications, which include dehydration, cardiovascular and kidney disease, and nerve damage.
