Diabetes in India and Ayurvedic Treatment for Diabetes In ancient Ayurvedic texts, diabetes (called Prameha) is mentioned as one of the diseases that affect wealthy people. The author may have the impression that only the rich and elite of society lead a life of laziness, affluence, boldness, joy, and physical inactivity. But in today's world, we know that type II diabetes spans the spectrum of society and is ignorant of class and race. In addition to obesity and cardiovascular disease, it has become the most prevalent illness caused by poor living and eating habits. Lack of physical activity, poor diet, and stress all contribute to the growth of diabetes.

Diabetes Treatment in India India has 77 million people with diabetes and is becoming the capital of diabetes. It is important to treat diabetes promptly. Treatment of diabetes in Ayurveda provides a holistic approach with lifestyle changes and the use of safe and natural herbal medicines. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body cannot use the glucose produced at the end of digestion, increasing serum and urinary glucose levels. During the digestive process, the carbohydrates in the food you ingest are broken down into glucose. Glucose is important because it provides energy to the cells. To use this glucose for energy, you need a hormone called insulin. People with diabetes do not have enough insulin production in their bodies, or the insulin they produce is not used to convert glucose into energy. This raises blood sugar levels in the body and damages blood vessels in important organs such as the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system. This can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, and even stroke.
