Description
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's use of glucose. This is due to insufficient production of insulin or the inability to effectively utilize insulin. There are two types of chronic diabetes, type 1 and type 2. These types are irreversible but can be managed with the right treatments. Prediabetes and gestational diabetes can be reversible. Whether they go away on their own or can be prevented from transitioning to something more serious. The purpose of this research study is to analyze the pathogenicity of the mutation SIM1 gene and its association with diabetes.
