Many a times our parents and grandparents talk about a serious issue at our home which is known as ‘diabetes’. But does any one of us seem to be really interested in the topic. Have we attempted to gain the full knowledge of the disease? When the insulin in the body gets wiped out, the sugar level or the glucose level rises and as a result diabetes develops.
Regulating the sugar level of the blood is most essential to keep diabetes in control. Diabetes can lead to gaining of deadly diseases which may prove to be calamitous if diabetes is not controlled in time as the disease has some short-term effects like an eye-vision which is blurred, loss of weight, concentration loss, frequent urination etc. some of the effects which diabetes can bring forward if it is not controlled in time are kidney failure, heart diseases, eye diseases etc.
The age, lifestyle of a person and stage of the disease are three factors upon which the treatment of diabetes depends. In the beginning stages of treatment of diabetes, a healthy and nutritious diet and regular exercise are a must. In order to understate diabetes, the weight of the diabetic should first and foremost be brought in control. Or otherwise, oral medications and insulin can also be given if these steps to control diabetes are not effective.
More than 15 million Americans are suffering from diabetes and most of them are dependent on daily insulin shots. The key to control diabetes is to lower blood pressure and blood glucose levels and high cholesterol levels. Smoking triggers heart diseases and even greatly increases the risk for heart disease in diabetic people. Therefore diabetic people are advised to quit smoking in order to control the deadly heart diseases and high cholesterol levels.
Gymnema, bitter melon, bilberry, birch leaf tea, diaplex are some of the herbs and medicines for diabetes sufferers as prescribed by ayurvedic doctors. Sugar level in blood is reduced while lowering insulin resistance with the help of Gymnema. Sugar level is also reduced while pancreases help in more and more secretion of insulin. Hence, the body is in the position to make more insulin thereby improving the glucose level. The number of beta cells are increased in the pancreas with the help of a fruit named bitter melon. This is helpful in increasing the ability of the body to make more insulin. Eye-sight and blood vessels are also helped to improve through OPCs tannins and compounds which are found in bilberry fruit. Weight can also be controlled with the help of birch leaf tea.
Two of the major drugs which are given to diabetics are Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemics. Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Fatty Acids, Alpha Lipoic acid, Chromium, Vanadium, Zinc are necessary nutrients for a diabetic and hence should be given to a diabetic in each of his meals. One of the most important elements helping in prevention of side-effects of diabetes like eye diseases, kidney problems, is vitamin A. this is the most helpful elements of all in the process of controlling diabetes. More insulin is produced with the help of Vitamin D and Zinc. Moving the insulin to the cells is the process of vanadium. Metabolism of carbohydrates is the function of chromium. Energy is arrived from glucose in the body with the help of Alpha Lipoic acid. Cod liver oil, nutritional yeast, animal foods including raw butter, cream, cheese, raw meat and fish, beef and lamb, seafood like shellfish, unrefined salt for trace minerals, bone broths for minerals; unfiltered olive oil; molasses, egg yolks; and a variety of fresh and fermented vegetables are the minerals and vitamins included in a healthy diet.
The HemoglobinA1C test measures the body’s blood sugar level, which should be at or below seven percent (7%). Fifty thousand diabetic patients are being treated at New York City hospitals and they state that lower blood sugar alone does not aid in the control of diabetes. The use of an electronic patient registry, monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as getting eye exams and foot exams are essential in controlling this disease. These patients also believe that doctors should always attempt to lower high blood sugar levels unless there are factors that cannot be controlled, such as age, lifestyle, culture, or other chronic conditions involved.
