Abstract:
A dwarfish thief today, diabetes, is a hazard that troubles the
society, thriving every single moment. The time is not far away when
it arises as a wicked giant, seizing the world in the deadly grasps and
becoming a severe challenge for physicians everywhere. Diabetes
Mellitus (DM), a commonly occurring, multifactorial disorder, has
affected around 10% of the population in Western countries and
Japan. The pandemic frequency of DM is continuously cropping up.
Increased prevalence of DM has been observed in Asian region. As
per one report published in 2013, 36 % of diabetic population is
from Asian countries.
This increased occurrence in Asian population can be attributed
to increasing incidence of more body weight, sedentary life style,
genetic or other environmental factors including poverty. In such
countries death rate is higher in diabetics due to overwhelming
diabetic complications like infections and cardiovascular
pathologies. In past few decades, clinical features of the diabetic
patients were analyzed and a new trend of lower body mass index
and early onset of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D)was observed.
The involvement of molecular element in the development of T2D
in younger age group remains focus of research for many years and
is yet to be explored fully.
