With the rapid socio-economic development and the improvement of people’s living standards, diabetes mellitus (DM) has become one of the major diseases endangering public health. The prevalence, disability and mortality rates of diabetes and its risk to overall health are the 3rd highest among non-infectious diseases worldwide and are in epidemic proportions. The rapid increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the resulting complications place a heavy burden on society’s health care system and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. As diabetes progresses, complications in the heart, brain, and kidneys not only increase, but become almost insurmountable obstacles for diabetics.
