Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a generic term for various metabolic diseases which have in common that they lead to elevated blood glucose levels because patients lack the hormone insulin and/or the insulin effect is reduced. Medically, there are different forms of diabetes, the main forms are type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Obesity
Obesity is a medical condition, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that it may negatively affect health. People are classified as obese when their body mass index (BMI) is over 30 kg/m2.
Excess body fat underlies 64% of cases of type II diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women. Since 2013 obesity is officially classified as a disease.

Insulin is a well-known peptide hormone which is produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of the human body. Those hormones promote the development and the maturation of cells in various organs. Insulin is required to take up glucose (sugar) in liver, muscle and fat cells to build energy stores.
For type I diabetes mellitus patients' insulin is key to survive.

Gerresheimer as a reliable supplier of integrated drug delivery systems for GLP-1
Incretin mimetics or GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of antidiabetic agents that were originally developed specifically for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They mimic the effect of the body's own hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). Compared to insulin treatment T2D patients can benefit from lower side effects, lower risks of hypoglycemia and increased weight loss.
