Abstract: The epidemic of diabetes is now worldwide. Diabetes affects 347
million people and this number is projected to reach 438 million
by the year 2030 [1]. According to the World Health Organization
(WHO), diabetes caused 1.3 million deaths worldwide in 2008 [2].
Diabetes increases the risk of both heart disease and stroke. The risk
of death for people with diabetes is about twice as high as than that for
people without diabetes [3]. The cost of diabetes ranges from 0.4% to
2.3% of GDP in some countries in the world [4].
