Holistic disease care, away from the hospital

There are majorly two types of diabetes: Type 1 occurs when the body’s immune system attacks cells in the pancreas that make insulin (essential hormone for blood sugar control).

Type 2 diabetes tends to develop later in life, often as a result of excess weight or physical inactivity.

Diabetes arises from a combination of problems. First, the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin — a problem known as insulin resistance. Insulin resistance — which most commonly develops as a result of excess body fat—forces the pancreas to secrete more insulin to help push glucose into cells.

Over time, though, insulin-producing cells fail to keep up with the increased demand. Blood sugar level rises, resulting in T2DM. Other causative factors include genes and advancing aging.

Diet for diabetes is not a one size fits all, a healthy diet is however encouraged: the common denominator in many healthy eating patterns is reduction of carbohydrates, an abundance of whole vegetables, fruits, and legumes.
