As we all know, Diabetes is one of the most common disease prevalent
over the world these days. The condition in which the body accumulates
excess of sugar is termed as diabetes.
There can be two reasons for this, either a problem with secretion and
functioning of the Anti Diuretic hormone or the problem with secretion
of insulin. The former is called, Diabetes insepidus, Diabetes Mellitus
being the latter one. The latter is rather more prevalent and is the
matter of concern for almost every second house in the society these
days.

can do is just keep it under control by imposing a regular check on it
by using medicines etc. For this we need monitoring the progress of the
