Diabetes & Ayurveda
World Diabetes Day was held on Nov.14 and this year’s theme was ‘Breaking Barriers and Bridging Gaps.’ Diabetes has become common, affecting not only adults but also individuals under 30. India is regarded as the diabetes capital of the world, with South India having a higher incidence rate.
The primary reasons for this rise include an unhealthy lifestyle and stress. Even those with a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle can develop diabetes due to high stress.
A hereditary predisposition also plays a significant role. If parents have diabetes, their children are at a higher risk. Obesity is another major factor.
Symptoms
In Ayurveda, diabetes is referred to as Madhumeha. It is classified into two types: Sahaja – Genetic (Type 1 – Insulin-dependent) and Apathyanimithaja – Due to lifestyle causes (Type DM).
