According to Ayurveda, the disease diabetes is known as Madhumeha. The Madhumeha (Diabetes) is a complicated disorder affecting the energy metabolism in the body leading to general weakness, muscle loss, decreasing eye sight, osteoporosis, low sex desire, skin ailments like carbuncles and many more. Some of the symptoms of Diabetes include Dry mouth, Frequent urination and hunger feelings.

Ayurveda has mentioned 20 types of Prameha (diseases related to high sugar levels in urine and blood) and it is mentioned that all 20 types of Prameha can lead to Diabetes if not treated.

Causes of Diabetes

Sedentary life style, (No exercise) Over weight are major causes of Diabetes. In Ayurvedic medicine it is mentioned that if someone gets diabetic he has to exercise and walk and swim and so on. So it's very important to exercise in order to burn the extra glucose which is pooling in the blood and not going into the cells.

Why there are increased no of cases of Diabetes in recent times?

If we look at our lifestyle, food habits, diet, sleeping pattern, working style and level of stress of present population and if we compare it to our ancestors just 40 years ago. You will see that there are enormous changes which we have faced. The whole world has become a different place that it was about 40-50 years ago.

Our thoughts, state of mind and feelings have a great role in keeping the body in homeostasis, a state of peace, bliss and happiness.

Stress, Fear, Anxiety levels have risen remarkable in the last 50 years due to advent of science and technology and fast pace of life.  To fight out these feelings of stress and fear, the body cells need more energy (glucose).

To meet all such requirements of modern day, the body has to stretch to its limits and needs enormous amounts of energy all the time. The cells are working faster and at higher rates and consuming more energy and need more and more energy, especially the brain cells.

Insulin is the key of the locks of the cells. If insulin is there, then only the cells will open. More insulin is needed because the cells need more glucose. Pancreas cells produce more insulin to meet the increased demand of Insulin. Continuous work on the puts a lot of pressure and the Beta Cells of Pancreas (insulin producing cells) worn out and die. This leads to pooling of Glucose In the blood, causing starvation of cells in the absence of Key (Insulin).

The glucose is not able to go inside the cells. The cells are in need of energy and there is no insulin.

This is one scenario.

Another scenario is that the Insulin is there, but the cells keyholes are not opening up and are covered due to fats or distorted. This is called Insulin resistance.

Insulin is there but it's not able to open up the channels because the keyholes are covered due to fats. This is the scenario of obese patients where Insulin is being made but the cells are not getting the glucose.

In some patients both the scenarios are possible.

So whatever is the case, living a stress free live, doing regular exercise, eating balanced diet full of fiber and fruits is the key to keep the sugar levels in control and prevent fluctuation episodes.

If you have eaten enough fiber, it helps to slowly release the sugar in the blood thereby preventing the sugar fluctuation. If you eat sugar, too much carbohydrates, cakes and anything sugary or heavy meals, it will immediately go into your blood causing immediate elevation of sugar levels.

Massage with medicated oils also has a good role in Sugar patients. According to Ayurveda, Diabetes is a Vata+ kapha imbalance disease. Vata should be kept in control in every manner and the best way to keep Vata in control is live a stress free live and regular oil massage. Sesame oil is the best.
