Introduction to Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by multiple etiologies and characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water and electrolytes due to defects in insulin secretion and/or action (insulin resistance).
Types of Diabetes
Diabetes can be divided into insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM, also known as type 1 diabetes), non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM, also known as type 2 diabetes), gestational diabetes and special types of diabetes. The absolute absence of insulin due to the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells is the main cause of type 1 diabetes. Decreased insulin secretion due to insulin resistance and/or defective pancreatic β-cell function is characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes is diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy. Special types of diabetes are a wide range, and are some hyperglycemic states with relatively clear etiologies, such as genetic defects in islet β-cell function/insulin action, pancreatic exocrine diseases, and endocrine diseases.
Current Status of Diabetes
With the development of society and the trend of aging population, diabetes has become a global disease. According to data provided by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), about 537 million adults aged 20-79 worldwide will have diabetes in 2021, accounting for 10.5%. Compared to 2019, the figure represents a 16% increase, highlighting the alarming increase in the prevalence of diabetes worldwide.
As a serious non-communicable chronic disease, diabetes has become a major public health problem concerned by countries all over the world. Data provided by the IDF shows that in 2021, global health spending due to diabetes is estimated to be $966 billion, an increase of about 316% over the past 15 years. Excluding deaths related to COVID-19, about 6.7 million adults are expected to die from diabetes or its complications in 2021, accounting for 12.2% of all-cause deaths globally. One person dies from diabetes every five seconds at this location. Worldwide, 541 million adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Treatment of Diabetes

The treatment of diabetes is a comprehensive treatment of early and long-term, active and rational and individualized treatment measures. The goal is to correct metabolic disorders, eliminate symptoms, prevent or delay the occurrence of complications, reduce mortality, and ensure normal growth and development and pregnancy process. With the continuous advancement of medicine, it has a good effect on reducing the complications of diabetes. The treatment of diabetes is updated every year, in order to optimize the treatment effect and prolong the life of diabetic patients.

After continuous exploration by researchers all over the world, some technologies about peptides have shown great advantages in the treatment of diabetes. Certain peptide drugs can significantly promote insulin secretion and help restore the function of pancreatic beta cells.
