Mitigating the Impact of Diabetes Mellitus: Highlighting Treatments and Trials for Customary Complications

The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), more commonly referred to as diabetes, has surged exponentially over the last decades [1]. The rise of the disease further denotes the rise of its complications. The condition is associated with several complications ranging from various levels of severity, and understanding these complications is critical for diabetes management. In this research paper, I discuss the short- and long-term complications of diabetes, focusing particularly on Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Each complication is introduced and thoroughly examined, with emphasis on the methods used for its detection and the functioning of various treatments. Given that many DM complications lack distinct treatments, I also specify relevant clinical trials for potential treatments, highlighting the trial’s statistics, results, and limitations, if any. I conclude by highlighting the personal experience of Mohammad Osama Minhas, a diabetic patient of 16 years, providing a valuable perspective to the daily challenges in managing the disease.
