I. Introduction: Type two diabetes (dīəˈbētēz, -tis) is a disease that affects the way glucose, the body’s main source of fuel, is metabolized. With diabetes, the body will either resist insulin or will not create sufficient insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. About 25.8 million children and adults in the United States (8.3% of the population), 25.6 million (11.3% of people ages 20 and older) and 10.9 million (26.9% of people ages 65 and older) have diabetes. In 1889, Oskar Minkowski and

Review of Condition Diabetes is a disorder of the breakdown of glucose in the body. Glucose levels in the body are maintained through diet and the aid of insulin. Glucose is brought into the body through various types of foods, the most common one being carbohydrates. Once glucose is in the body, it is distributed through the bloodstream with the help of inulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. In patients with diabetes, either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the cells the glucose
