Diabetes – already prevalent worldwide, its incidence is expected to continue to grow exponentially in the coming years. This disease in which the body fails to produce or respond appropriately to the insulin hormone manifests in two types: type 1 and type 2, and if untreated, results in dangerously elevated glucose levels in the blood and urine. Prolonged hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) can lead to serious complications, including cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, diabetic retinopathy or nephropathy, and ulcers.
