Diabetes Mellitus commonly known as Diabetes.
It refers to the group of diseases that affect how the body uses glucose. It's
mainly a disease of the pancreas that produce hormone insulin. If a person is
having diabetes, the pancreas either cannot produce enough insulin or uses the
insulin incorrectly or both. If the insulin isn't functioning properly, glucose
can't enter the cells. This causes glucose levels to rise in the blood and
creating a condition of high blood glucose level called Diabetes.
According to
Ayurveda, Diabetes Mellitus is known as Madhumeha (excretion of the sweet
urine). It's a silent Killer. Diabetes is also known as Parmeha (Passing of
excess urine in quantity and frequency) and is also considered as a Maharoga
(Major Disease), as almost all the parts of the body and every cell of the
human physiology is affected. Madhumeha actually refers to a terminal stage of
the disease and is said to be incurable because of the advancement and improper
management. It is a metabolic kapha disorder in which there is reduced Agni
hence increase in blood sugar level.

(Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) or Type 1 DM.
·
The Acquired Form (Aapathyanimittaja Parmeha): It can be compared to the
NIDDM (Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) or Type 2 DM.
·
There is also one more form that is known as Gestational Diabetes. Which
may occur only during pregnancy in a few patients and after pregnancy it
automatically gets treated.

What Are The Causes Of
Diabetes Mellitus?
1. Type 1
Diabetes: It is caused by the combination of genetic and environmental factors.
2. Type 2
Diabetes: In this the cells become resistance to insulin and the pancreas is not
able to make the enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Instead of moving
into the cells where sugar is needed, it moves to the bloodstream.
3. Gestational
Diabetes: Placenta hormones during pregnancy, these hormones make cells more
resistance towards pancreas. Normally, the pancreas respond by producing enough
extra insulin. But sometimes pancreas cannot keep this, at that time too little
glucose enters the cells and too much stays in the blood, resulting in
Gestational Diabetes.
What Are The Risk Factors For

Nephropathy (Kidney damage): Diabetes can damage
the filtering system. Severe damage can lead to the kidney failure.
·
Retinopathy (Retina damage): Diabetes can damage
the blood vessels of the retina hence it leads to retinopathy.
·
Aziehemer's disease: The poorer the
control of blood glucose level, greater the risk of Aziehemer's disease.
·
Foot damage: Nerve damage in the
feet or poor blood flow increase the risk of foot complications.
How To Diagnose Diabetes
Mellitus?
·
FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar level): After the person fasted for overnight,
then the blood is drawn.
·
Fasting plasma glucose level is more than 126 mg/dl one or two more
tests on different days alternately refers to diabetes.
·
RBS (Random Blood Sugar Level): when it is more than 200 mg/dl or higher
it indicates the person is diabetic.
