Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how body turns food into energy. The body breaks down most of the food you eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin.
Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy. With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease and vision loss.

Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This reaction stops body from making insulin. Approximately 5-10% of the diabetes people have type 1 diabetes. It’s usually diagnosed in children, teens, and young adults.

There are twenty kinds of pramehas in Ayurveda. According to the involving dosha, diabetes mellitus is termed as Madhumeha. It is one of the four vataja pramehas.
