Abstract | [Introduction]: The two major clinical forms of diabetes mellitus are insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM or type 1) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM or type 2) as classified by WHO (1999). In type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is a progressive inadequacy of insulin production. The inadequacy seems to stem from a failure of the pancreas to be able to compensate adequately for the progressive decline in sensitivity to insulin in the target tissues. Insulin sensitivity decreases as the body fat content increases, and excessive weight gain is the most important trigger for the onset of type 2 diabetes in those who are genetically susceptible to it. A high-fat, low-fibre diet and inactivity are other lifestyle characteristics that decrease insulin sensitivity, predisposing individuals to this type of diabetes (Webb 2002). |
