What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is known as Madhumeha in Ayurveda. Vata Prameha is the term used to describe diabetes mellitus. It develops as a result of a Vata Dosha imbalance.

Diabetes, commonly referred to as high blood sugar or hyperglycemia, is brought on by an abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream as blood sugar rises. 

It is described as a metabolic disorder in which a person has excessive blood glucose levels due to a lack of insulin output, improper cell response to the produced insulin, or both.

Causes Of Diabetes:

• Lack of sleep
• Excessive yogurt intake
• Absence of activity
• Soup made from domestic, marine, and marsh animals
• Excessive intake of sweet food
• All other practices that cause Kapha

There Are Two Types Of Diabetes-

TYPE 1 DIABETES

Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in youngsters. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells, making it impossible for the body to naturally control blood sugar levels. 

The body is deprived of nutrients and is unable to transform sugar into energy in the cells if it lacks the ability to manage blood sugar. The immune system of the body attacks the pancreatic cells that make insulin, resulting in diabetes, which raises blood sugar and glucose levels.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:

• Severe thirst
• Extreme hunger
• Dry mouth
• Uneasy stomach
• Feeling of nausea
• Unexpected weight reduction
• Constant tiredness
• Hazy vision

TYPE 2 DIABETES

Even while the body may make insulin, it may have trouble getting it into the cells, where it can accomplish its job of converting glucose into energy. This condition is known as type 2 diabetes. 

Low levels of physical exercise and a bad diet are significant causes of type 2 diabetes. It is regarded as a significant contributor to the increase in obesity.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes:

• Severe thirst
• Unusual urination frequency
• Extreme hunger
• Unwanted loss of weight
• Fatigue
• Wounds that take a long time to heal
• Often urinating
