Abstract:
Diabetes is the chronic progressive disease and blood glucose control mechanism fails for impaired insulin secretion and increased resistance to insulin action in the skeletal muscle and liver. Unfortunately, cure for diabetes cannot be achieved now, however, it may be possible to control blood glucose at the same level compared with non-diabetic individuals by combining treatment methods. Of course, dietary and exercise therapy are important, and oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin will be used appropriately further, to control not only the average of the blood glucose levels for but also the blood glucose change.
