Interaction between oxidative stress and diabetes: a mini-review

Abstract

The Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is increasing in incidence and prevalence worldwide, taking the shape of the pandemic proportions, which is expected to increase further over a couple of decades. In 2019, an estimated 9.3% of the population (463 million people), globally had DM. Projection of future DM burden may increase to 10.2% (578 million people) by 2030 and 10.9% (700 million people) by next 25 years (2045). The decrease in immunity in diabetic patients has been a significant concern for physicians and patients alike.
