BACKGROUND

Diabetes

Diabetes is the inability of the body to properly uptake glucose into its cells. Usually occurs either because the body no longer generates adequate amounts of insulin in the islets of Langerhans, which will lead to a deficiency, or the body becomes resistant, reducing the effectiveness. As a result frequent insulin injection is a method of treatment. However this requires constant blood glucose level monitoring, which is costly and inconvenient.

In the National Diabetes Statistics Report of 2014 released by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion it was reported that 29.1 million Americans (9.3% of the US population) have diabetes mellitus. The cost both direct and indirect of diabetes treatment is estimated to be 245 billion dollars, and the disease remains the 7th leading cause of premature death in the United States.
