Introduction Diabetes refers to a group of polygenic metabolic diseases which may be portrayed by hyperglycemia leading to the alterations in carbohydrate, protein as well as fat metabolism, which in turn leads to the defects in the action of insulin (ADA, 2012). Once the food is ingested, it gets digested in to smaller components like carbohydrates and starch which can be converted to maltose by the action of amylase enzyme, which may be further broken down in to monosaccharide such as glucose.
