Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects more than 347 million people worldwide, it is a chronic disease caused by a set of metabolic alterations whose development in the body goes unnoticed. The frequency in the risk of suffering diabetes has increased considerably in the last years. It is imperative to review bibliographic sources in order to adequately analyze a clinical case, which serves as an example in understanding the biochemistry of diabetes. The hormone responsible for carrying out the glucose metabolism process is insulin, when there is resistance, it is considered an alteration in the organism that prevents the effect from occurring, causing the accumulation of glucose molecules in the blood by not being able to enter normally to cells. For its detection, glucose levels are frequently measured using various diagnostic methods and the presence of other factors that can serve as indicators is considered: age, genetic predisposition, physical condition, etc. After using the analytical method, Diabetes is related to the different data of the patient which describe problems of arterial hypertension, overweight, added to polyphagia, polyuria, among other symptoms that have been frequently described in the detection of DM. Finally, the comparative analytical method must be used to suggest a treatment that possibly reduces insulin resistance, regulating glucose levels.
