Abstract

The Diabetes pandemic is rapidly spreading and mostly affects developing countries like India. Recent figures have shown that 62.4 million people currently have diabetes in India, and this number is projected to rise to 101.2 million by 2030. although by definition, diabetes is characterized by elevated glucouse concentration; the impact of diabete on both the health of individuals and on the health care systems is almost entirely due to the long term "complication" of diabetes which affect almost every system in the body, but particularly the eyes, kidneys, heart, feet and nerve.
