La diabetes mellitus (DM) constituye en la actualidad un importante problema de salud para la población mundial. Es un trastorno/síndrome metabólico crónico que resulta de una interacción variable de factores hereditarios y ambientales. La diabetes mellitus es un trastorno endocrino, caracterizado por la hiperglucemia, la producción de radicales libres, la secreción anormal de insulina o los eventos del receptor o posreceptor de insulina que afectan al metabolismo de los hidratos de carbono, las proteínas y las grasas, además de dañar el hígado, el riñón y las células ¿ del páncreas. Afecta a la capacidad del paciente para controlar sus niveles de glucosa en sangre, ya sea porque su cuerpo no produce suficiente insulina o porque sus células no responden a la insulina, es decir, la resistencia a la insulina. La insulina es la hormona que regula la captación de glucosa de la sangre en la mayoría de las células, pero principalmente en las células musculares y grasas. La hiperglucemia produce los síntomas clásicos de poliuria, polidipsia, pérdida de peso y letargo.

The research work was carried out to evaluate various physical characteristics of flaxseed for formulation and development of functional cookies. Due to health promoting properties and excellent nutrient profile of flaxseed, it has been becoming a popular functional food product for incorporation in human diet. Ground flaxseed is being used extensively for the development of functional foods. The components of flaxseed, identified to exhibit the health benefits are fiber, lignans and linolenic acid (Omega-3 fatty acid). Moreover, flaxseed is a good source of high quality protein, soluble fibers and phenolic compounds. The physical properties of flaxseed determined as a function of moisture content varied significantly with increased in moisture content. Further, research was carried out for incorporation and formulation of the ground flaxseed as supplemented flour in development of functional cookies. The sensory analysis regarding the overall acceptability of cookies prepared from composite flours results that supplementation significantly affected the overall acceptability of the functional cookies.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) currently is a major health problem for the people of the world. It is a chronic metabolic disorder/syndrome resulting from a variable interaction of hereditary and environmental factors. Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder, characterized by hyperglycemia, free radical production, abnormal insulin secretion or insulin receptor or post receptor events affecting metabolism involving carbohydrates, proteins and fats in addition to damaging liver, kidney and ¿-cells of pancreas. It affects a patient¿s ability to control their blood glucose levels, either because their body does not produce enough insulin or because their cells do not respond to insulin i.e.insulin resistance. Insulin is the hormone that regulates the uptake of glucose from the blood into most cells, but primarily muscle and fat cells. High blood sugar produces the classic symptoms of polyuria, polydypsia, weight loss and lethargy.
