Ayurveda Diabetes Treatment
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body fails to utilize the glucose produced at the end of digestion, leading to increased glucose level in the blood serum and urine. During the process of digestion, the carbohydrate in the consumed food is broken down into glucose. Glucose is important because it provides energy for the cells. To make use of this glucose for energy, a hormone named insulin is needed. People having Diabetes mellitus don’t have sufficient insulin production in their body or the insulin produced is not used for conversion of glucose into energy. Due to this, the glucose levels in the body increases in the blood damaging the blood vessels of vital organs like heart, kidneys, eyes or the nervous system. This can lead to complications like heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and can even suffer from stroke.
