Diabetes mellitus is a very common disease affecting millions of people around the world. The impaired blood glucose metabolism causes elevation in blood sugar levels, causing the diabetic symptoms including increased thirst, increased hunger, and increased urination. When diabetes is left untreated, the constantly elevated blood glucose levels can lead to serious complications like heart diseases, kidney failure, and diabetic neuropathy.
