Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a group of diseases in which the body either does not have the capability to produce insulin or is not capable of producing sufficient amounts of insulin to compensate for the glucose that enters the body. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetes affects the lives of approximately 8.3 percent of the U.S. population of all ages and racial backgrounds [4]. People experience diabetes across all regions of the world.
