Publication date: Available online 24 January 2019Source: Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & ReviewsAuthor(s): Michael Halim, Alice HalimAbstractDiabetes mellitus is seen to be prevalent among the different epidemics. The prevalence rate of the diabetes mellitus is seen to be increasing in different regions of the world. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of the disease that causes the defect in the production of insulin. It is associated with the disruption in the metabolism of fat, proteins and carbohydrates. Different complications that are associated with T2DM includes the retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and weakness and other issues. Due to the loss of the function of the insulin, the metabolism is disturbed. . It is needed to consider the effects of inflammation aging and the oxidative stress on the diabetes mellitus. Therefore this review has dealt with this particular issue in great detail. The predominant aim of this review was to evaluate the effects of inflammation aging and oxidative stress on the T2DM. It was achieved through correlating and comparing the studies of different researchers. This review article has reviewed this topic in great detail considering the different researches related to the inflammation aging, oxidative stress and their impact on the diabetes mellitus.
