Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that results in chronic
inflammation and apoptosis in pancreatic islets in patients
with either type 1 or 2 DM and is characterized by abnormal
insulin secretion
Insulin-resistant glucose use in
peripheral tissues such as muscle and adipose tissues is a
universal feature of both insulin-dependent DM and noninsulin-dependent
DM. In this process, glucose transporters
(GLUTs) play crucial role
