What It Is, Signs & Homeopathic Management of Diabetes
Diabetes or Diabetes Mellitus or Diabetes Type 2 is a condition where the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar).
Earlier it was said that mostly people over 30 years old are prone to get diabetes and the incidence increases with age.
But the prevailing poor eating habits, obesity,lack of exercise have resulted in occurrence of diabetes in young adults too. This is an alarming sign!
It is also called as ‘Silent disease’ since you may not know if your blood sugar level increase. There might be vague symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness, muscle pain etc.
Diabetes is diagnosed because of elevated blood glucose and presence of glucose in the urine.
Types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes
The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, accounting for 95% of diabetes cases in adults.
Type 2 diabetes also used to be called adult-onset diabetes, but with increasing obesity in kids, more teenagers are now developing type 2 diabetes.
Individual with type 2 diabetes can make their own insulin in the pancreas, but the insulin that is produced is not used as effectively by the body.
What happens in Diabetes?
- Frequent urination: As excess glucose present in blood in Diabetes, the kidneys react by flushing it out of the blood and in the urine. This leads to increased urine formation and hence frequent urination..
- Extreme thirst: Due to increase in urination you are likely to be thirsty more often.
- Increased hunger: Glucose is not utilized by your cells due to lack of insulin. Hence you don’t get energy to which your body responds as increased hunger.
- Unexplained weight loss: As your body is not making insulin it searches for another energy source (the cells aren’t getting glucose!). Muscle tissue and fat are broken down for energy resulting in weight loss.
- Fatigue: Lack of energy makes you feel tired.
- Numbness: Excessive glucose in the body leads to nerve damage. Hence you may experience tingling and/or numbness in your hands and feet.
- Sores that are slow to heal: When there is more sugar in your body, its ability to heal can be undermined.
- Increased infections: The disease fighting capacity reduces and you are more prone to get infections. Women get urinary and vaginal infections more often.
- Sexual dysfunction among men: Men over 50, you may experience frequent or constant sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction).
