ARE YOU ON PATH TO DIABETES? The cost of diabetes is really high!!

Well, maybe your pancreas is too lazy to make enough Insulin.. Anyways let’s get into the topic…

Diabetes is one of the most challenging health issue in 21^st century. 3.2million diabetic deaths are happening annually worldwide and become 7^th leading cause of death by 2030 said by WHO. Diabetes reduces the quality of life. 4 million people die due to complication of diabetes. This metabolic syndrome has become a huge burden in the society. Diabetes can affect every system in the body.

Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia caused by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. Hyperglycemia has many causes  but is most commonly due to type1 or type2 diabetes. Lack of insulin affects the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat and cause significant disturbances of water and electrolyte homeostasis.

Causes

Type1 diabetes previously known as insulin – dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and is invariably associated with profound insulin deficiency requiring replacement therapy. Type2 diabetes mellitus was previously termed as non -  Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) because patients retain the capacity to secrete some insulin but exhibit impaired sensitivity to insulin ( insulin resistance)

Type1 is caused by genetic and environmental factors like diet, obesity, infections etc.

Type2 is due to genetic defects, pancreatic disease, drug- induced, viral infections, lifestyle factors, associated with genetic syndromes such as Down’s syndrome, Turners syndrome etc

What are the symptoms you experience?

Thirst, polyuria, nocturia, tiredness, fatigue, weight change, blurring of vision, mood changes, irritability etc.

It is essential that people with diabetes understand their disorder and learn to handle all aspects of their managements comprehensively and quickly as possible. Now let’s talk about the ayurvedic view of diabetes. We call it as Prameha.

According to Ayurveda, main causes of prameha are lack of exercise and improper food habits, such as intake of food which fall in the category of ushna (hot in nature), snigda (oily) and guru (heavy) like – fish and curd

Also the food that increases kapha, Medhas and mutra

Prameha patients are classified into two category, which are Apatharpana premaha rogi (the lean diabetic) and Santharpana prameha (the obese diabetic) also based on dosha, it is classified into vataja -4types, pittaja – 6types, kaphaja-10types.

The above 20 types are classified on the basis of colour and physical characteristics of urine. In Ayurveda, we believe ojus is considered as the essence of life, represented as bala (strength) of the body. The ojus in the healthy person determines the physical, mental, sensory and motor functions of the body. If ojus is disturbed degeneration occurs and result in decreased lifespan. In premeha the ojus or life essence is expunged from the body especially through urine and sweat.

Management of prameha

According to Ayurveda the line of treatment of prameha is strictly based on individual constitution, dosha predominance, channel obstruction, food and lifestyle and hereditary factors.

In general type1 Diabetes mellitus patients are advised to have Bhrimhana (which increases stamina & vitality) medication as well diet which increases dhatus in the body.

In type2 Diabetes, purification of body is advocated. This is depend on dosha predominance like snehanam (internal administration of oil / ghee), sodhanam (purification) by vamana (emesis), virechanam (purgation), vasthi (enema) this is indicated only in specific conditions. Next is samanam, pathya- apathya (do’s and don’t’s), exercise & yoga.
