2. Diabetes Mellitus, commonly referred to as Diabetes is
one of the fastest growing diseases among world
population. A 2017 study by CDC (Centers for Disease
Control & Prevention) revealed that more than 30 million
people had diabetes in 2015; this is 9.4% of total US
population.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by
continuously increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia)
over a long period of time. It can be prevented and
managed with adequate physical activities, diet control,
medication, and other natural and Ayurvedic treatment for
diabetes.

3. Without treatment and prevention,
diabetes can be a life-threatening
condition as the affected people
becoming drastically prone to vision
loss, cardiovascular diseases, stroke,
renal failure, and delayed healing of
wounds which may lead to
amputation of legs, feet, and toes.

4. WHAT IS BLOOD SUGAR?
The cells present in our body need energy to function. This
energy is present in the form of glucose units in our blood, in
loose terms we call it blood sugar (while it should be called
blood glucose).
[Note: Chemically, glucose is a type of sugar. So glucose is a
sugar, but all sugars are not glucose.]

5. IMPORTANCE OF BLOOD SUGAR AND ROLE OF
INSULIN IN OUR BODY
Any food that we eat or drink is broken down into glucose
by enzymes and chemicals present in the stomach. Glucose
is then absorbed by the stomach and small intestine and
released into our bloodstream. Hence, when we eat food, our
blood sugar level increases.

6. This glucose containing blood is transported throughout
our entire body with the help of our circulatory system,
and it eventually reaches every cell of our body.
But body cells don’t know that glucose is available in the
blood which they can take for energy. They need to be told
this information. This is done by an important organ of our
body called pancreas. The beta cells present in the
pancreas are biological sensors that check blood sugar
levels every few seconds. When they sense an increase in
blood glucose levels, they release a critical hormone called
insulin into the bloodstream.

8. WHAT IS DIABETES MELLITUS? TYPE-2
VS. TYPE-1 DIABETES.
What happens when insulin is secreted less than required or not at all?
What if the insulin is secreted, but our cells have become resistant to
insulin and can’t respond to it? Of course, cells can’t know that glucose
is available even if it is in abundance. The result is consistently high
blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) and low energy levels.

9. DIABETES TYPE-1
The former case in which
enough insulin is not
secreted is called Type-1
Diabetes. It is an auto-
immune disease caused by
genetic disorders and onsets
at an early age.

10. DIABETES TYPE-2
The latter case, in which cells become insulin-
resistant, is called Type-2 Diabetes. It is a
lifestyle disorder and is caused by lack of
physical activity and uncontrolled diet. More
than 90% of all diabetes patients have type-2
diabetes. It is completely preventable by
exercising and diet control, although genetics
make some people more prone than others.

11. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES
MELLITUS
Hyperglycemia- Consistently high blood sugar levels
Weakness and lethargy
Unexplained rapid weight loss
Frequent Urination
Increased Thirst

12. If your BMI is higher than 25, you should
take timely diabetes tests regardless of
your age. Factors that increase the risk
of diabetes are hypertension, higher or
lower cholesterol levels, and passive
lifestyle. If you any of the above or have
a diabetic blood relative, you are more
prone towards getting affected and
should get tested frequently.

24. #4 Quit Smoking and
Consumption of Tobacco in
Other Forms
Smoking almost doubles the risk of diabetes.
Moreover, diabetics and pre-diabetics should
avoid smoking at all costs because it escalates
the risk of complications like high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis, and stroke.

25. #5 Follow Diet for Diabetes
Patients
Consume a healthy diet that
includes more leafy
vegetables, fruits, whole
grains and low-fat dairy
products. Fish, chia seeds,
turmeric, and cinnamon are
particularly beneficial for
controlling diabetes.

27. #7 REDUCE ALCOHOL
CONSUMPTION
Having a drink or two occasionally may even be good for
your health. But binge drinking and chronic alcoholism
significantly increase the risk of complications in diabetes.
So it is advisable to keep alcohol in moderation.

28. #8 TAKE REGULAR
MEDICINE FOR DIABETES
If you are already suffering
from diabetes or
hyperglycemia, you must take a
doctor’s consultation and take
the prescribed medicines
regularly. Alternative
medicines, especially
Ayurvedic can be highly
effective in control and
prevention of diabetes too.

29. #9 Regularly Monitor
Your Blood Sugar
Despite all measures,
blood sugar levels can
escalate or reduce
erratically. In order to
be able to take timely
action, make sure that
you are monitoring
your blood sugar
levels on a frequent
basis.
