What is Diabetes mellitus?

 

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which blood sugar level raises. It is caused by the absolute or relative deficiency of insulin or insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is mainly characterized by polyuria and frequent urination. In uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, sugars start accumulating in the urine and blood. It can cause disturbance of acid base balance of the blood, which may lead to diabetic coma or convulsions.

 

Can Ayurvedic Medicine Treat Diabetes

 

There is no doubt about that Ayurvedic medicine is well able to manage and treat Diabetes. In Ayurveda, Diabetes mellitus is one form of the Premeha and termed as Madhumeha.  It is characterized by the excessive urine output and with sweet honey like taste.

 

According to ayurveda, Diabetes mellitus is a defective body metabolism that causes derangement in the transformation process of seven tissues (DHATUS) in the body. There are 20 types of Urinary disorders in ayurveda collectively called Pramehas. The classification is based on the dominance of the body humors and volume, frequency, color, odor, taste, sediments and presence of mucous in the urine.

 

In diabetes mellitus, people discharge excessive quantities of urine, which is generally turbid, according to ayurveda. All three humors (VATA, PITTA and KAPHA) are involved in this disease, but VATA and KAPHA aggravations are predominant causes of diabetes mellitus.

 

 

How Do You Get Type 2 Diabetes  

 

 

To know HOW DO YOU GET TYPE 2 DIABETES, its important to know first that, what is insulin and what does Insulin does to sugar? 

 

 

The insulin is a hormone responsible for blood sugar control. It is secreted from the pancreas into the bloodstream. It circulates in the blood, reaches to the cells, and enables sugar entry into the cells. When insulin secretion from the pancreas decreases, it leads to the elevated level of sugar in the blood and accumulation of sugar content in the urine.

 

 

Types of Diabetes mellitus

 

There are generally two types of Diabetes mellitus described below:

 

Type 1 diabetes mellitus

 

The exact underlying cause of diabetes type one is yet unknown. It may be associated with the immune system. The immune system may work against insulin-producing cells and may destroy these cells. Thus, it may cause insulin insufficiency and lead to type one diabetes mellitus. Other genetic factors may also be responsible for type one diabetes mellitus.

 

Type 2 diabetes mellitus

 

In type-2 diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, ill dietary habits and lack of physical work are main causes. In this type, cells become resistant to the action of the insulin hormone. Pancreas may secrete the normal amount of insulin, but this insulin may not be able to overcome insulin resistance. In some cases, insulin secretion is also decreased and causes insulin insufficiency. The modern science has no answer why this insulin insufficiency and insulin resistance occurs, but ayurvedic science explain it clearly.

 

Ayurveda believes insulin resistance occurs due AMA (Toxins) accumulation in the cells, body channels and organs in the body.

 

This accumulation blocks the insulin to enter into the cells. It also causes blockage of all nutrients entry into the cells as well, not only insulin. Due this, insulin resistance occurs. Diabetic patients also feel tiredness and lack of energy because of insufficiency of nutrients absorption due to the AMA (Toxins) accumulation in the body.

 

Gestational diabetes

 

Gestational diabetes occurs due to the insulin resistance caused by the placental hormones. However, in most of cases, pancreas secretes extra insulin to overcome this problem, but in some cases, it fails to keep the insulin level up in the body. Hence, it leads to gestational diabetes.
