Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) would be the seventh leading cause of mortality by the year 2030. The incidence of diabetes is rising, from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. Type 2 DM accounts for 90% of diabetic patients. It is due to the body’s inefficient use of insulin which is caused by insulin resistance1. Glucose and lipids (triglycerides including cholesterol) metabolism are affected in diabetic patients.
