What is Diabetes?

When glucose levels in your blood are excessively high, it signifies diabetes. It occurs when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin, or when the body doesn’t respond to insulin properly. People of all ages can be impacted by diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common disease affecting adults and children, primarily due to insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease, attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells, affecting up to 10% of individuals, typically diagnosed in children and young adults.  Diabetes can be chronic, but it can be managed with medications or lifestyle adjustments. Long-term, elevated blood sugar levels can lead to health issues like heart disease, nerve damage, and eye complications. The Ayurvedic approach to diabetes focuses on balancing kapha with diet and a mindful, active lifestyle.

Causes of Diabetes

Analysing the triggers of Diabetes

Diabetes can be caused by excessive glucose in the bloodstream, regardless of the type. Different types of diabetes have different reasons for high blood glucose levels. Diabetes can be caused by the following factors:

Insulin resistance

Insulin resistance is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes. When cells in your muscles, fat, and liver do not respond properly to insulin, insulin resistance occurs. Obesity, physical inactivity, diet, hormonal imbalances, genetics, and certain medications all contribute to different levels of insulin resistance.

Autoimmune disease

When the immune system attacks the pancreas’ insulin-producing cells, it results in Type 1 diabetes.

Hormonal imbalances

Insulin resistance is triggered by hormones released by the placenta during pregnancy. Insufficient insulin production by the pancreas can lead to gestational diabetes due to insulin resistance.

Pancreatic damage

Conditions, surgeries, or injuries that harm the pancreas can hinder insulin production and result in diabetes.
