Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy.
90 percent of diabetic patients suffer from type 2. It affects the eyes (diabetic retinopathy), kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), nerves (diabetic neuropathy) and even the heart. The patient loses weight, feels numbness in his limbs and may also suffer from heart failure.
People often think of diabetes as a new type of disease and try to treat it with modern systems. But in reality, diabetes is an ancient disease that Ayurveda effectively treated (and still does).

Ayurveda approach diabetes?
Diabetes is not a disease caused by any external biological or chemical attack. This is due to an internal chemical imbalance. The allopathic belief system prescribes many different medicines, diet rules and exercises that work with different symptoms.
This is where Ayurveda is unique. Ancient medicine treats a person as a whole, not in parts. Our body is not just a set of organs. All the organs work together to keep us healthy and active.
Body-specific Analysis in Ayurveda
The same sickness can manifest through different symptoms in different bodies. So, instead of focusing on symptoms, Ayurveda analyses the patients body type. It classifies people into three different body types: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. This ancient categorization system detects a persons physical and psychic structure accurately. As a result, the treatment for a diabetic patient is far more effective.
Mind-Body-Soul Co-ordination:
Ayurveda does not consider the mind and the body as separate things because in reality the two are closely connected and function as a whole. A physical disease often has its root in the mental structure of the person. Ayurveda takes this point into consideration and makes a holistic approach towards the treatment of a diseased person.
Plant-medicines: A Wonder of Ayurveda
Ayurveda uses medicines that are extracted from different parts of the body of certain plants. These herbs support the pancreas, repairing and strengthening this insulin-producing gland. Allopathic medicines, on the other hand, overwork the pancreas and eventually weaken it. As a result, the diabetic patient requires insulin after a few years of oral medication.
Prevention of Additional Ailments
Ayurveda also addresses additional symptoms caused by diabetes such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy or diabetic retinopathy. It gives precise prevention measures to keep these diseases away. Ayurvedic medicines strengthen the human immune system.
Conclusion:
A single Ayurvedic medicine can address all the issues that a diabetic person has to face like muscle weakness, exhaustion, sugar metabolism etc. Since it is 100% natural, it has no side effects, which means that even diabetic patients can lead a healthy and happy life.
It is important to follow a holistic and natural way to control sugar, and this can be done by adopting Ayurvedic methods and medicines. Of course, a healthy diet and an ideal lifestyle are also a core part of Ayurveda.
