THE PROBLEM AND THE REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Introduction
Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the pancreas
produces insufficient amounts of insulin, or in which the
bodys cells fail to respond appropriately to insulin. There
are two types of diabetes mellitus, the type I and the type
II. This study focuses on the type II diabetes mellitus
since it accounts mostly of the cases compared to type I

Generally, type II diabetes develops more slowly than
type I diabetes. As a result, some people can be diagnosed
with type II diabetes (and some other diabetes types) years
after they first developed the condition. In some cases,
diabetes may only be diagnosed after noticing the signs
of diabetic complications that is a serious position.
Untreated, type II diabetes can be life threatening.

Managing diabetes can seem like an overwhelming task,
particularly for the newly diagnosed patient. Many diabetics
struggle to cope with the requirements and this can lead to
depression.
