ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is an endocrinological and/or metabolic disorder with an increasing global
prevalence and incidence. Diabetes Mellitus is a group of physiological dysfunctions
characterized by hyperglycaemia resulting directly from insulin resistance, inadequate insulin
secretion or excessive glucagon secretion. It has many sub-classifications including Type-1,
Type-2, Gestational Diabetes and Steroid-Induced Diabetes. Type-1 and Type-2 Diabetes
Mellitus are the main sub-types each with different pathophysiology, management but both
have a potential for hyperglycaemia. The risk of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) was
especially high for patients with diabetes undergoing chemotherapy. It important to learn about
Adverse Drug Reactions, because ADRs are one of the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality in healthcare. One-third of people with diabetes experience at least one Adverse Drug
Reaction. Biguanides, peptide hormones and sulphonyl urea are the classes of Antidiabetics
drugs and amongst them most commonly used drugs are “Metformin and Insulin”. Mostly
ADRs were related to the endocrine and gastrointestinal system. In this article we aimed to
evaluate the Adverse Drug Reaction incidence in patients suffering with Diabetes Mellitus.
