From insulin deficiency to resistance: unraveling the complexities of diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that can be driven on by deficits in insulin secretion, action, or both. There are three types of diabetes mellitus: type 1 diabetes is brought on by the body producing insufficient amounts of insulin. Earlier names for this condition included "juvenile diabetes" and "insulin dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM).). It's unclear why this is happening. The main sign of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance. It's unclear why this is happening. Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells do not react to insulin as they should. The intrusive nature of insulin delivery combined with long-term use has led to issues with patient compliance, which has eventually affected patient outcomes.
