The occurrence of Diabetes is not only found in mid-age or older adults but italso affects the young population in the world (Guariguata et al., 2014). Globally, theprevalence of Diabetes Mellitus has been continuously rising and has become anepidemic. Approximately, 30 million individuals were earlier affected with Diabetesin 1964 (Entmacher and Marks, 1965).Ogurtsova et al. (2017) in their study showedthat between the age group of 20-79 years, 415 million of the population was foundbattling with Diabetes causing a mortality rate of 5.0 million. Moreover, in 2015, theoccurrence of Diabetes in adults was estimated at 8.8% and on the other hand, 16.2%of newborn had hyperglycemia (Ogurtsova et al., 2017). Due to increasing death ratesuntil 2030, Diabetes Mellitus possibly became the 7th cause of death (Pal et al., 2017).Moreover, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has carried out the worldwideprevalence and estimation of this epidemic. The IDF shows the worldwide occurrenceof Diabetes Mellitus viz. 151 million in 2000 [IDF, 1st edition, 2000], 194 million in2003 [IDF, 2nd edition, 2003], 246 million in 2006 [IDF, 3rd edition, 2006], 285million in 2009 [IDF, 4th edition, 2009], 366 million in 2011 [IDF, 5th edition, 2011], 382 million in 2013 [IDF, 6th edition, 2013] 415 million in 2015 (Ogurtsova et al., 2017), 451 million in 2017 (Cho et al., 2018). It was predicted by King et al., 1998that in 2025 there will be 300 million adults diagnosed with Diabetes, 552 million in2030 (Whiting et al, 2011), 592 million 2035 (Guariguata et al., 2014), 642 million in2040 (Ogurtsova et al., 2017) 693 million in 2045 (Cho et al., 2018). Furthermore, itwas revealed that individuals in low and middle-income countries record the greatestDiabetes incidence in the upcoming 22 years (Guariguata et al., 2014).
