| Diabetes mellitus (commonly referred to as diabetes) is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects of insulin secretion. The prevalence of this disease has skyrocketed since the beginning of the 21st century, becoming the seventh most common global cause of death in 2016 (World Health Organization, 2018). This increase is most likely due to the lifestyle shift in North American and European countries. The domination of fast food chains and increased automation in the workplace and streets has lead to a decrease in physical activity and healthy eating habits. | Diabetes mellitus (commonly referred to as diabetes) is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects of insulin secretion.

| There are four major categories of this disease: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and specialized types of diabetes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014). Type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of pancreatic β-cells. The most common method of destruction being facilitated by the body’s inflammatory response. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which is mediated by dysfunctional pancreatic β-cells. Gestational diabetes occurs when the onset of diabetes is during pregnancy. The final major category of diabetes (specialized types) encompasses a large variety of diseases that can be categorized as diabetes but have different onsets and mechanisms from the first three categories. The most common example is maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), which is an inherited form of diabetes and associated with mutations in hepatic genes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014). | There are four major categories of this disease: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and specialized types of diabetes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014).
