The prevalence of diabetes mellitus tends to occur in low and middle income countries rather than in high income countries. WHO reports that since 1980, the number of adults living with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has quadrupled, reaching 422 million people in 2014, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases (WHO, 2016). Countries from Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific have the largest number of diabetes mellitus sufferers (WHO, 2018).
