and lipid metabolism. The primary feature of this disorder is elevation in blood glucose levels
(hyperglycemia), resulting from either a defect in insulin secretion from the pancreas, a change
in insulin action, or both. Sustained hyperglycemia has been shown to affect almost all tissues in
the body and is associated with significant complications of multiple organ systems, including
the eyes, nerves, kidneys, and blood vessels.

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by increased levels of glucose in
the blood resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. In type 2 diabetes,
people have decreased sensitivity to insulin and impaired beta cell functioning resulting in
decreased insulin production. Glucose derived from food cannot be stored in the liver thereby
remaining into the bloodstream. The beta cells of the islets of Langerhans release glucagon
which stimulates the liver to release the stored glucose. After 8 – 12 hours, the liver forms
glucose from the breakdown of noncarboghydrate substances, including amino acids resulting to
muscle wasting which results to weakness.
