Mankind has known Diabetes Mellitus for ages. The word “Diabetes” is derived from the Greek language and means “to pass through, to flow through”, and “Mellitus” means “sweet”.
Thus Diabetes Mellitus is merely a description of what is happening in your body: a fluid containing sugar passes through your body.
Today the incidence of diabetes is on the rise. Urban populations, with their new lifestyles are becoming more and more susceptible to diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases. This has been shown in many studies published all over the world. |
