Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-communicable disease
characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to an impaired glucose
metabolism [1-3]. It can occur by an autoimmune process in which there
is destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, leading to deficiency
of insulin secretion characterizing the DM type I, which affects
children and adolescents, may be due to a combination of insulin
resistance and the inadequate compensatory response to insulin
secretion, predominant in the DM type II, affecting adults , when
glucose intolerance occurs during the second or third trimester of
gestation, it is characterized gestational DM (GDM), and other types of
diabetes are reported in the literature, such as those caused by genetic
defects of beta cell function, disorders genetics in the action of
insulin, exocrine pancreatic diseases, endocrinopathies, drug induced or
other age chemical infections, viral infections, unusual immunological
forms, and genetic syndromes associated with diabetes [4,5].
