Problem StatementDiabetes mellitus was once considered a disease with minor impact on global health. However, it now poses a serious threat to human health in the 21st century. This epidemic is due to changes in human behavior and lifestyle over the last century. Obesity, poor or sedentary lifestyle, diet high in carbohydrates and fats, daily alcohol consumption are the main factors contributing to a high rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is estimated that 150 to 220 million people suffered from diabetes worldwide in 2010. This figure will increase to 300 million by 2025 (Zimmet, Alberti and Shaw, 2001, pp. 782-784). As of February 2014, statistical data shows that In the United States, approximately 25.8 million patients were diabetic (Egan, Blind, Dunder, de Graeff, Hummer, Bourcier, & Rosebraugh, 2014, p.). But the data did not include those who were not diagnosed or treated (Egan, Blind, Dunder, de Graeff, Hummer, Bourcier, & Rosebraugh, 2014, p.). This trend poses a serious threat to humans by exposing them to various health problems, including kidney failure, vision problems and the long-term effects of disorders of the heart, nerves and blood vessels, which can ultimately contributing to a high rate of illness and disease. mortality.
