Diabetes mellitus : Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.
There are roles for patient education, dietetic support, and sensible exercise, with the goal of keeping both short-term and long-term blood glucose levels within acceptable bounds. In addition, given the associated higher risks of cardiovascular disease, lifestyle modifications are recommended to control blood pressure. Medication include
1Insulin,
2Sensitizers
2.1 Biguanides
2.2 Thiazolidinediones
3Secretagogues
3.1 Sulfonylureas
3.2 Nonsulfonylureasecretagogues
4 Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
5 Peptide analogs
5.1 Injectable Incretinmimetics
5.2 Injectable Amylin analogues
