Homeopathy treatment for Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia
resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both.
OVERVIEW
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the amount of sugar in the blood is elevated. Doctors often use the full name diabetes mellitus, rather than diabetes alone, to distinguish this disorder from diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is a relatively rare disorder that does not affect blood glucose levels but, just like diabetes mellitus, also causes increased urination.
Blood sugar
Generally, the three major nutrients that make up most food are carbohydrates, proteins, and fat. Sugars are one of three types of carbohydrates, along with starch also fiber.
Moreover, There are many types of sugar. Some sugars are simple, and others are complex. Table sugar (sucrose) is made of two simpler sugars called glucose and fructose. Additionally, Milk sugar (lactose) is made of glucose and a simple sugar called galactose. The carbohydrates in starches, such as bread, pasta, rice, and similar foods, are long chains of different simple sugar molecules. Sucrose, lactose, carbohydrates, also other complex sugars must be broken down into simple sugars by enzymes in the digestive tract before the body can absorb them.
Besides this, Once the body absorbs simple sugars, it usually converts them all into glucose, which is an important source of fuel for the body. Glucose is the sugar that is transported through the bloodstream and taken up by cells. All in all, The body can also make glucose from fats and proteins. Blood “sugar” really means blood glucose.
Insulin
Basically, Insulin, a hormone released from the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach that also produces digestive enzymes), controls the amount of glucose in the blood. In detail, Glucose in the bloodstream stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin helps glucose to move from the blood into the cells. Besides this, Once inside the cells, glucose is converted to energy, which is used immediately, or the glucose is stored as fat or the starch glycogen until it is needed. Lastly, The levels of glucose in the blood vary normally throughout the day.
Level of Glucose
They rise after a meal and return to pre-meal levels within about 2 hours after eating. In detail, Once the levels of glucose in the blood return to pre-meal levels, insulin production decreases. The variation in blood glucose levels is usually within a narrow range, about 70 to 110 milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL), or 3.9 to 6.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) of blood in healthy people. If people eat a large amount of carbohydrates, the levels may increase more. People older than 65 years tend to have slightly higher levels, especially after eating.
If the body does not produce enough insulin to move the glucose into the cells, or if the cells stop responding normally to insulin (called insulin resistance), the resulting high levels of glucose in the blood also the inadequate amount of glucose in the cells together produce the symptoms and complications of diabetes
CAUSES
- Insulin resistance
- Central obesity
- Predispose individuals to insulin resistance
- Abdominal fat is especially active hormonally, secreting a group of hormones called adipokines that may possibly impair glucose tolerance
-
Obesity is found in approximately 55% of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
- In the last decade, type 2 diabetes has increasingly begun to affect children and adolescents, likely in connection with the increased prevalence of childhood obesity
- Positive family history
TYPES
Etiological Classification of Diabetes mellitus and Impaired glucose tolerance
1.Type I DM (in other words; β-cell destruction, absolute insulin deficiency).
Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
(a) Autoimmune
(b) Idiopathic
2.Type II DM – Non-insulin dependent (in other words; NIDDM)
3. Maturity onset diabetes in young (in other words; MODY 1-6)
Genetic defects in β-cell function have the following
mutations:
- MODY 1 – Hepatocyte Nuclear Transcription factor (HNF) 4α
- MODY 2 – Glucokinase
- MODY 3 – HNF – 1α
- MODY 4 – Insulin promotor factor-1 (IPF1)
- MODY 5 – INF – 1β
- MODY 6 – Neurogenic differentiation1, (Neuro D1)
4.Secondary causes
a. Pancreatic disease i.e.
- Cystic fibrosis
- Trauma / pancreatopathy
- Hemochromatosis
- Pancreatitis
- Fibrocalcific pancreatic diabetes (in other words; FCPD)
- Carcinoma of pancreas
b. Endocrine disorder i.e.
- Acromegaly
- Cushing syndrome
- Glucagonoma
- Conn’s syndrome
- Pheochromocytoma
- Hyperthyroidism
c. Drug induced i.e.
- Glucocorticoids
- Diazoxide
- Thiazides
- Phenytoin
- Pentamidine
- Alpha Interferon
- Thyroid hormone
- Beta adrenergic
d. Infection i.e.
- Congenital
Rubella
- Coxsackie B virus
- Cytomegalovirus
e. Insulin Receptor Defect i.e.
- Anti-insulin Receptor Antibodies [in other words; Stiffman syndrome]
- Lipoatrophic Diabetes
f. Other Genetic syndrome associated with DM i.e.
- Down’s Syndrome
- Turner’s Syndrome
- Wolframe’s syndrome
- Prader willi syndrome
- Kline filters syndrome
- Porphyria
- Myotonic Dystrophy
- Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome
- Friedreich’s ataxia
5.Gestational diabetes
6.Impaired glucose tolerance (Borderline diabetes)
a. Primary: Obese, non-obese
b. Secondary: All conditions mentioned under secondary DM, cirrhosis of liver, kidney failure, chronic undernutrition, hypokalaemia, stress, e. g. myocardial infarction.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Usually gradual in adults, but acute in children.
Modes of presentation –
Presence of osmotic symptoms (i.e. polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia)
- Weight loss, fatigue and lassitude
- Pruritus vulvae in females or balanitis in males
- Loss of libido or erectile dysfunction
- Blurring of vision
- Symptoms due to diabetes – related complications e.g., abdominal pain in ketoacidosis
Convulsions – Fits should be considered hypoglycaemic until proved otherwise, especially in children. EEG abnormalities are common in insulin-treated patients, especially those with recurrent hypoglycaemia. Day Time attacks suggest epilepsy, while nocturnal attacks are often hypoglycaemic.
WHAT TO EAT
For Diabetes Mellitus, a balanced diet helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Foods to Eat:
✅ High-fiber foods: Whole grains (oats, brown rice, quinoa), legumes, and vegetables improve blood sugar control.
✅ Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in nutrients and low in carbs.
✅ Healthy proteins: Lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, and nuts help stabilize sugar levels.
✅ Healthy fats: Avocados, olive oil, and nuts reduce inflammation.
✅ Low-GI fruits: Berries, apples, pears, and guavas provide controlled sugar release.
✅ Dairy alternatives: Greek yogurt and skim milk in moderation.
Foods to Avoid:
❌ Refined carbs (white bread, pastries)
❌ Sugary drinks and sweets
❌ Fried and processed foods
Maintain portion control and eat small, frequent meals to manage sugar levels effectively. 🚀
DIET AND REGIMEN
- Restoration of normal blood glucose and optimal lipid levels.
- Maintenance of blood glucose level as near to physiologic levels to prevent onset or progression of complications.
- Maintenance of normal growth rate in children and adolescents as well as attainment and maintenance of reasonable body weight in adolescents and adults.
- Provision of adequate nutrition for pregnant women, the fetus and during lactation.
- Moreover, Consistency in timing of meals and snacks to prevent inordinate swings in blood glucose levels.
- Motivation to have small frequent meals.
- Determination of a meal plan appropriate for individual’s lifestyle and based on dietary history to have good compliance.
- Besides this, Management of weight reduction for obese individuals with NIDDM.
- Improvement in the overall health of patients with diabetes through optimal nutrition carbohydrates to the extent possible.
