Irrespective of the type of diabetes you have, excess sugar in the blood for prolonged period can cause serious health issues. At UWAY, we offer Ayurveda treatment for diabetes based on blending traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostic techniques. This ensures that you receive the most accurate and effective treatment available for diabetic problems.
Understanding Diabetes
537 million adults (1 in 10) were living with diabetes in 2021. This number is expected rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Although type 2 diabetes develops in people over age 45, it has become increasingly common among children and young adults over the last few years.
High levels of glucose in your blood with diabetes is either because the body is not producing enough insulin or it is not properly using the insulin that it produces. Genetics and environmental factors can be the causes of diabetes.
The main types of diabetes are- Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes and prediabetes. Left untreated, excess sugar in the blood for prolonged periods can cause serious health issues like, heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, blindness and more.
What is Type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an immune system disease, often seen in children and young adults. Your body attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas. Genetics may also play a role, and in a few cases, a virus may trigger the immune system attack. Ayurveda treatment for diabetes helps to manage Type 1 diabetes by focusing on overall well-being and strengthening the immune system.
What is Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes?
Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, can develop at any age. Prediabetes happens when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but aren’t high enough to be called diabetes. These conditions are caused either because the body is not making enough insulin or it is not properly using the insulin that it is making. Ayurveda treatment for diabetes combines traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostic techniques to manage blood sugar levels effectively and improve insulin sensitivity.
