Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to produce or effectively use insulin. The two main types are:
- Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
- Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic disorder where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin.
Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
Common symptoms include:
- Frequent urination
- Excessive thirst
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing sores
- Frequent infections
Causes and Pathophysiology
- Type 1 Diabetes: Caused by genetic and environmental factors, leading to the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells.
- Type 2 Diabetes: Linked to genetics, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. The body becomes resistant to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels.
- Insulin Resistance: Cells become less responsive to insulin, causing the pancreas to produce more. Over time, this leads to decreased insulin production and elevated blood sugar levels, developing into Type 2 diabetes.

Why Relying on Oral Hypoglycemics Early On Can Be Risky
Oral hypoglycemics, while effective in lowering blood sugar levels, are not always the best solution in the initial phase of diabetes management. Relying on these medications from the outset can lead to dependency and may mask the underlying issues that need to be addressed, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and insulin resistance. Moreover, these medications come with a range of potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues, weight gain, and the risk of hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar levels). They may also lead to long-term complications like liver and kidney damage. A holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and homeopathy can address the root causes of diabetes, potentially reducing or delaying the need for medication and its associated risks.
