HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR DIABETES INCLUDING DIABETIC FOOT AND DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases
that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your
health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up
your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel.
If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means
you have too much glucose in your blood, although the causes may differ. Too
much glucose can lead to serious health problems.
Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes
and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include
prediabetes — when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high
enough to be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs
during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered.
Causes --To understand diabetes,
first you must understand how glucose is normally processed in the body.
How insulin works
Insulin is a hormone that comes from a gland situated
behind and below the stomach (pancreas).
·
The pancreas secretes insulin into
the bloodstream.
·
The insulin circulates, enabling
sugar to enter your cells.
·
Insulin lowers the amount of sugar in
your bloodstream.
·
As your blood sugar level drops, so
does the secretion of insulin from your pancreas.
The role of glucose
Glucose — a sugar — is a source of energy for the
cells that make up muscles and other tissues.
·
Glucose comes from two major sources:
food and your liver.
·
Sugar is absorbed into the
bloodstream, where it enters cells with the help of insulin.
·
Your liver stores and makes glucose.
·
When your glucose levels are low,
such as when you haven't eaten in a while, the liver breaks down stored
glycogen into glucose to keep your glucose level within a normal range.
Causes
of type 1 diabetes
·
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is
unknown. What is known is that your immune system — which normally fights
harmful bacteria or viruses — attacks and destroys your insulin-producing cells
in the pancreas. This leaves you with little or no insulin. Instead of being
transported into your cells, sugar builds up in your bloodstream.
·
Type 1 is thought to be caused by a
combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, though exactly
what many of those factors are is still unclear.
Causes of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
·
In prediabetes — which can lead to
type 2 diabetes — and in type 2 diabetes, your cells become resistant to the
action of insulin, and your pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to
overcome this resistance. Instead of moving into your cells where it's needed
for energy, sugar builds up in your bloodstream.
·
Exactly why this happens is
uncertain, although it's believed that genetic and environmental factors play a
role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Being overweight is strongly linked
to the development of type 2 diabetes, but not everyone with type 2 is
overweight.
Causes of gestational diabetes
·
During pregnancy, the placenta
produces hormones to sustain your pregnancy. These hormones make your cells
more resistant to insulin.
·
Normally, your pancreas responds by
producing enough extra insulin to overcome this resistance. But sometimes your
pancreas can't keep up. When this happens, too little glucose gets into your
cells and too much stays in your blood, resulting in gestational diabetes.
Symptoms--Some of the signs and
symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are:
·
Increased thirst
·
Frequent urination
·
Extreme hunger
·
Unexplained weight loss
·
Presence of ketones in the urine
(ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when
there's not enough available insulin)
·
Fatigue
·
Irritability
·
Blurred vision
·
Slow-healing sores
·
Frequent infections, such as gums or
skin infections and vaginal infections
Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it
typically appears during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, the more
common type, can develop at any age, though it's more common in people older
than 40.
