What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes means that the body is unable to produce enough insulin or there is insulin resistance, which increases the blood sugar levels of the body. It is categorized as one of the most common types of diabetes around the world. And is all dependent on an individual’s family history, habits and lifestyle. To clarify, insulin is a hormone generated by the pancreas and helps the body control blood sugar levels.

What is Diabetes according to Ayurveda?

Diabetes is a metabolic type of lifestyle disease. As per Ayurveda, in this disease, the Agni (digestive fire) is not functioning right, which exhibits cardinal symptoms of Prameha like Prabhootha mutrata, Avila mutrata and Medo dushti lakshanas. As per this holistic approach, diabetes is called Prameha or sweet urine and is mainly a Kapha dosha disease, but the Vata dosha also plays a role. In Ayurveda, diabetes is classified into 20 different forms based on the Doshas in the body. The two main reasons why an individual can develop diabetes are:

Dhatukshaya : The loss of tissues in the body which is also known as Dhatus

Avarana : The blockage of the pathways in the body due to the Kalpa Dosha.
