6 Potential of Thermal Imaging to Detect Complications in Diabetes Rationale for Diabetes Screening with Thermal Imaging
6.1 Introduction
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex, chronic, and metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels also termed hyperglycemia (Zimmet et al., 2014). Insulin is an essential hormone produced by the beta cells in pancreas which is involved in the regulation of the amount of glucose circulating in the blood. The inability to produce insulin secretion or insulin resistance leads to hyperglycemia which is the clinical indicator of DM (Abdelalim, 2020). Diabetes is a life-threatening health disease which is etiologically classified into three types, namely Type I, Type ...
