Abstract
Background : Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with increased blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by high blood sugar levels as a result of insulin function insufficiency which can be caused by impaired or deficient insulin production by beta Langerhans cells of the pancreas or by the body's cells being less responsive to insulin. Stress is a condition when there is a discrepancy between expectations and reality. Stress and diabetes mellitus have a close relationship.
