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 insulinaction, 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.
