Diabetes Mellitus, more commonly known as just diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and is due to an irregular high level of sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream as a result of either the pancreas not producing adequate amount of insulin or the cells no longer respond to the insulin produced. Insulin is an important hormone that is required by the cells to remove sugar and to use it for energy or to store for future use.

Inadequate management of sugar levels in the bloodstream leads to serious disorders including kidney (renal) failure, heart problems, blindness and stroke.
