by Julia HanfMany 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.

Controlling diabetes involves keeping the blood sugar levels under
control. If not caught in time, this disease can result in some very
serious effects on your health. Some short term effects can include, but
are not limited to, blurred vision, concentration loss, weight loss, and
frequent urination. If you fail to treat and control diabetes quickly,
more serious health issues could arise such as heart disease, eye
disease, and kidney failure.

The treatment of Diabetes depends on the age of the person, the
lifestyle of the person and the stage of disease. Initially, the treatment of
Diabetes involves giving a healthy and nutritious diet, and regular
exercising. The weight of the diabetic should be under control to minimize
the disease. If the above said measures of control are not effective,
than Oral medications and Insulin are preferred.

Near about to 15 million people in US are ailing under diabetes while
many of them prefer insulin shots on a daily basis. Reducing the blood
pressure, the blood glucose level and cholesterol level are most
necessary to control diabetes. Smoking remains as the sole cause of heart
diseases thereby increasing the risk for diabetics at a larger rate. This
the reason why diabetics are suggested to give up smoking for the
purpose of saving them from various other heart diseases and higher
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.

Major drugs given in Diabetes include Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemics.
Nutritious diet which is to be given to Diabetics should be rich in
Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Fatty Acids, Alpha Lipoic
acid, Chromium, Vanadium, Zinc etc. Vitamin A is an important element for
treatment of Diabetes. It prevents side-effects of Diabetes like eye
diseases, kidney problems etc. Vitamin D and Zinc help in Insulin
production. Vanadium helps move insulin into the cells and Chromium helps in
carbohydrate metabolism. Alpha Lipoic acid helps in converting glucose
into energy required for the body. All these minerals and Vitamins are
found in healthy diet like 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.

HemoglobinA1C test is the test which measures the sugar level in blood
and its results should vary in between 7 % or below. Near about to
50,000 diabetics undergo treatment at New York City public hospitals.
According to them, diabetes cannot be controlled alone with blood sugar
control. A regular track of blood pressure and cholesterol levels and eye
and foot exams are checked there at regular intervals using an
electronic patient registry. Protein HaemoglobinA1C levels should be reduced or
the blood sugar level must be reduced until the factors like age, other
chronic conditions, lifestyle and culture are not controlled for the
purpose of treating a patient.
