Diabetes Treatment in Ayurveda

Diabetes is a very common disease today, characterized by the inability of body to utilize glucose for bodily functions. This happens due to either absence of insulin or its inability to utilize the glucose or sugar for cellular energy.

The glucose remains in the blood instead of being utilized by body cells and tissues. The accumulation of glucose on blood leads to cellular fatigue. On the long run, the high levels of sugar in blood causes damage to nerves, heart and eyes. If left untreated, diabetes can cause severe problems like heart diseases, blindness, impotence (in men) and several other problems.

Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes affects children. There will be total lack of insulin production by pancreas gland.
