Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder that lasts for several years due to the pancreas not being able to produce enough insulin or being unable to use the insulin that has been produced effectively. Insulin is a hormone that has a function to regulate blood sugar balance in the body.
There are several types of diabetes, the first being type 1 diabetes. This type of diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack and damage the cells that produce the hormone insulin so that the body lacks insulin.
For this type of diabetes type 1 often occurs in patients under the age of 40 years, especially in adolescence. Symptoms of this disease are detected more quickly at a younger age, especially during childhood or adolescence.

The incidence rate reaches 90-95% of all cases of diabetes in the world. Being overweight is the main cause of diabetes, but not all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are overweight.
