Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are three main types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to attack the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use glucose for energy.
- Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. It occurs when your body becomes resistant to insulin, and sugar builds up in your blood.
- Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It usually goes away after the baby is born, but some women develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
The symptoms of diabetes can vary depending on the type of diabetes you have. Some common symptoms include:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Unexplained weight loss
- Slow-healing sores or cuts
- Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
Lifestyle modifications that can help a diabetic patient include:
- Losing weight. If you are overweight or obese, losing even a small amount of weight can help improve your blood sugar control.
- Eating a healthy diet. A healthy diet for people with diabetes includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It is also important to limit your intake of unhealthy fats, processed foods, and sugary drinks.
- Getting regular exercise. Exercise can help improve your blood sugar control and reduce your risk of other complications of diabetes.
- Managing stress. Stress can make it harder to control your blood sugar. Finding healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga or meditation, can be helpful.
Following these lifestyle modifications can help you manage your diabetes and prevent complications. If you have any concerns about diabetes, please talk to your doctor.
In conventional medicine, there is no cure for diabetes.
Here are some additional tips for diabetic patients:
- Check your blood sugar regularly. This will help you track your blood sugar levels and make sure they are in a healthy range.
- Take your medication as prescribed. If you are taking medication for diabetes, it is important to take it as prescribed by your doctor.
- See your doctor regularly. Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels and make sure you are getting the care you need.
Managing diabetes can be challenging, but it is important to remember that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you, including your doctor, diabetes educators, and support groups.
Finally, homeopathy may be your last opportunity to treat diabetes. A homeopath will take your full case including medical history. A qualified homeopath can prescribe you good medicine from a list of about 100 remedies. He will also provide you with counseling to maintain a healthy life.
