Now a days Diabetes is slowly becoming new threat for everyone worldwide. Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as “diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both”. In India Diabetes is spreading enormously, as due to illiteracy majorly in eating habits and individual life style.   The current research clearly demonstrates its prevalence globally and measures to treat it naturally, and remedial measures to be taken to prevent further spread of threat in society.   The main concept behind the work is to educate society about what is diabetes and to discuss the myths associated with it.
