Diabetes and Its Management
Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most costly burdensome chronic
diseases of our time and is condition that is increasing in
epidemic population in the whole world. The complications
resulting from the diseases are a significant cause of morbidity
and mortality and are associated with failure of various organs
such as the eyes, kidneys and nerves. Diabetics are also at a
significantly higher risk for coronary artery disease,
peripheral vascular disease and stroke and they have a greater
likelihood of having hypertension dyslipidemia and obesity. What
is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a serious disorder of the glands, of pancreas to be
exact, called Madhumeha in Ayurveda. It is one of the most
insidious disorders of the metabolism and, if left undiagnosed,
may lead to rapid emaciation and ultimately death.
What are the types of Diabetes?
According to Ayurveda Diabetes is of two types: Diabetes
Mellitus- Insulin dependent Juvenile Diabetes (IDDM-Type I) in
which the body is unable to produce insulin and Non Insulin
Dependent Adult Onset Diabetes (NIDDM-Type II) in which the
pancreas produces insulin, but it is insufficient for reducing
the blood glucose to normal levels.
What are the common symptoms of Type- 1 Diabetes? Some of the
common symptoms of Type- 1 Diabetes are:
Excessive Thirst Frequent urination Unexplained weight loss
Irritability Weakness Fatigue
What are the common symptoms of Type- 2 Diabetes? Some of the
common symptoms of Type- 2 Diabetes are:
Loss off weight Numbness in hands or feet. Uncontrolled
infections Pain in the limbs Inflammatory chest infections
Dimness of vision, contrast Excessive thirst Body weakness
What are the different tests for Diabetes?
Urine Test: Some chemicals are added to a few drops of urine.
Colour change indicates presence of glucose in urine.
Blood Test: In this, blood is taken to test the glucose level.
This is more accurate test to confirm diabetes
Which parts of my body are affected by Diabetes?
Blood Vessels: Higher level of glucose damage the blood vessels.
As a result of this most of the diabetic complications occur in
blood vessels.
Heart: Diabetes affects the heart by: Increasing the amount of
fat in blood and increasing the amount of homocysteine in blood.
Kidney: In diabetes because of increased
levels of glucose,
kidneys have to do extra work to retain essential substances and
separate waste products to produce urine. This affects the small
blood vessels and their capacity to filter. After many years of
work, it leads to kidney failure.
Eyes: Diabetes affects blood vessels of the eyes. Damage to
these blood vessels leads to eye problems like: Damage to
retina, Cataract or total loss of vision
Foot: Damage to blood vessels reduces blood flow to the feet and
increases risk of developing foot ulcers and infections.
Nerves: High glucose level for a long time damages nerves. Nerve
damage reduces sensation in some parts of body which may lead
to: Numbness and tingling, Fainting and dizziness
Home Remedies for Diabetes:
The best remedy for this disease is the bitter gourd, better
known as 'karela'. Eat this vegetable as often as you can or
have at least one tablespoon of karela juice daily to reduce
blood sugar levels in your blood and urine.
Amla, due to its vitamin C content is effective in controlling
diabetes. A tablespoon of its juice, mixed with a cup of fresh
bitter-gourd juice, taken daily for two months will secrete the
pancreas and enable it to secrete insulin.
Take ten tulsi leaves, ten neem leaves and ten belpatras with a
glass of water early morning on an empty stomach. It will work
wonders in keeping your sugar levels under control.
The leaves of Butea tree are very useful in diabetes. They
reduce blood sugar and are useful in glycousia.
Take two teaspoons of powdered Fenugreek seeds with milk. Two
teaspoons of the seeds can also be swallowed whole, daily.
Eat 10 fresh fully grown curry leaves every morning for three
months. It prevent diabetes due to heredity factors. It also
cures diabetes due to obesity.
