The diabetes is a chronic (long - term) characterized by abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. People with diabetes either do not make enough insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches, and other foods into energy needed for daily life, or they cannot use the insulin that their bodies make. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease, heart disease, and stroke.

There are two main types of diabetes:

Type 1

Type 1 occurs when cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin are destroyed by the immune system. As a result, the pancreas permanently loses its ability to produce enough insulin to properly regulate blood sugar levels. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and, although it can be controlled, it cannot be cured.

Type 2

This form of the disease constitutes 90% or more of all cases of diabetes. It usually develops in adulthood. It occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal and is worsened by poor food choices, a sedentary lifestyle, and being overweight. 

Diabetes Treatment Approach

People with diabetes can use the following therapies to help control their blood glucose levels and prevent complications:

Lifestyle

People with diabetes can improve significantly with lifestyle changes, especially diet and exercise. People with type 2 diabetes can even eliminate the need for medications when they make appropriate lifestyle changes.

Diet

Naturopathy in Mumbai recommends that people with diabetes eat a healthy, low-fat diet rich in grains, fruits, and vegetables. Foods that are high in carbohydrates include grains, pasta, and rice; breads, crackers and cereals; starchy vegetables, including potatoes, corn, peas, and winter squash; legumes like beans, peas, and lentils; fruits and fruit juices; milk and yogurt; and sweets and desserts. Non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, salad greens, and green beans, are very low in carbohydrates. Counting carbohydrates can ensure that the correct amount of carbohydrate is consumed at each meal and snack.

Exercise

Exercise plays an important role in both the prevention and control of diabetes, as it lowers blood sugar and helps insulin work more efficiently in the body. Exercise also improves cardiovascular fitness by improving blood flow and increasing the pumping power of the heart, promoting weight loss and lowering blood pressure.

Herbs

People have long used herbs in the treatment of diabetes. Bitter melon, Fenugreek seeds, Gymnema, Cinnamon etc. may have a role in controlling or preventing diabetes. 

Acupuncture

Some researchers speculate that acupuncture may trigger the release of natural pain relievers and reduce the debilitating symptoms of a diabetes complication. Acupuncture may be a reasonable option for people with diabetes who have neuropathy and who do not find relief from symptoms or develop side effects from conventional drug treatment.
