LIVING WITH DIABETES – The person who becomes Diabetic must know everything about Diabetes, what are the reasons for being Diabetic and what Precautions one should take to stay healthy……. Before writing about the routine one should follow and how to manage with Diabetes, I would like to explain the reasons for Diabetes in MODERN SCIENCE AS WELL AS AYURVEDA SCIENCE…. So that one should clearly understand about it, basically, the reasons and course and management of treatment remains almost same.
The disease is classified into Type 1 and Type 2 DM. Type 1 DM Develops when the insulin-producing β cells have been destroyed and are unable to produce insulin. This is very common in children and is treated with insulin. Type 2 DM (T2DM) Develops when the body is unable to produce an adequate amount of insulin or the insulin which is provided does not work efficiently. This is due to lifestyle habits including unhealthy diet, obesity, lack of exercise and hereditary and environmental factors.
Some symptoms of DM include, Excess urination, constant thirst, lethargy, weight loss, Itching, Decreased digestive enzyme secretion, slow wound healing, and other related symptoms. If left untreated, DM can result in severe long-term complications such as kidney and heart failure, stroke, blindness, Nerve damage, exocrine glands insufficiency and other forms of complications. T2DM can be treated and controlled by prescribed drugs, regular exercise, diet (including some plant-based food) and the general change in lifestyle habits.
Normal Causes of Diabetes
Diabetes causes may vary depending on your genetic makeup, family history, ethnicity, health and environmental factors.AYURVEDIC CONCEPT OF PROGNOSIS OF DIABETES (SAMPRAPTI) AND ITS COMPLICATIONS: In Ayurveda steps of samprapti (prognosis of DIABETES) can be summarized in the following steps:- Nidanas (causative factors, reasons) Dosha dushti (aggravation of Doshas) Kapha and Pitta Dosha increases (lipids and heat in body or you can say hypertension/ hyperacidity) It Reaches Meda’s (Fatty tissues) Meda Vilayana (liquification of fatty tissue) due to Pitta Dosha (Heat Dissolves fatty tissues) Kleda vriddhi (increased fluid level in the body) Kleda comes to basti (creates load on urinary bladder)
Gradually involves all Dhatus Mamsa, Majja (Fats, muscle tissues) Leads to Dhatu shaithilya (loosening of body tissues and Involvement of other Doshas Sroto avrodh (Obstruction in channels) Increase in Vatta Dosha (Dryness in body) leads to various types of Prameha (Pre diabetic Symptoms or Recurrent URINATION) If Nidhana Parivarjanam (symptoms not taken care of and no precautions is taken, further increase in problems occurs) Leads to diabetes (Madhumeha) And if the problems and symptoms are not taken care and the precautions are not taken and blood sugar levels not balanced and reasons not treated , Vata (Dryness keeps on increasing causing constipation, drying and shrinking of muscles ) leading to Diabetic neuropathy Dreadful than diabetes NEUROPATHY : (Neuro – nerves, Pathy – suffering)
We know VAT, PITTA, KAPHA the three energies in Ayurveda, Responsible for every action. Increased Vata causes obstruction of channels (Strotas) consequently constipation. The food which remain in intestine start fermenting there and causing the formation of gas (methane in some cases which is one of the leading factors of cancer in colon) ……..upward movement is the character of gas or air, so it start upward movement, pressurizing diaphragm and other organs resting on it , causing H THE ORGANS RESTING ON DIAPHARGM The person who is Diabetic, his Central Nervous System gets affected due to Vitated Vata (dryness). Brain lacks proper nutrition needed and oxygen levels and thus inhibiting its Functions of the release of healthy hormones and hindering actions associated with the Nervous System. So treatment Involve the VATA SHAMAK DRAVYA MAINLY (LUBRICATING) that are oils, so one should concentrate on lubrication of internal organs like we do the oiling of machines.
Even when we breathe the air which get into the nostrils produces a rubbing action causing dryness, leading to Shrinkage of sinuses and brain muscles. So the treatment start with taking care of our brain and its Endocrine functions. KEEP YOUR BRAIN HEALTHY AND NOURISHED. GET UP EARLY IN MORNING before sunrise drink two glasses of warm water while sitting on a chair so that full body gets flushed up and gets clean thoroughly. If you can walk go for a walk for half hour and if you cannot move, sit in open air and do some yoga exercises, Pranayaam and Meditation for minimum half an hour. The oxygen which gets inhaled by Pranayaam and exercise rejuvenate the brain and keep it fresh. One should pour 2 – 2 drops of Almond oil as nasal drops daily.
