Milestones in Diabetes

     In 500/400 b.c  symptoms of diabetes were first  reported in Sanskrit literature at the time of two notable Indian physicians, sushrut and charak. Charak described diabetes as “madhumeha” (honey urine) or “iksumeha” (sugarcane urine) in his work “charak samita”. Both charak and sushrut diagnosed diabetes, by testing the urine for sweetness or noting how many ants were attracted to the urine. The urin of polyuric patients was described as “testing like  honey, being sticky to the touch and strongly attracting ants”. They were the first to differentiate between the two types of diabetes, observing that thin patients developed diabetes at a younger age and survived long, in contrast to heavier patients who had a later onset and lived longer.

Ayurveda & Gestational Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus & Ayurveda

                                   Gestational diabetes is de­

fined as diabetes discovered during pregnancy and repeated abor­

tions without any cause referred to the same and have four other 

sub varieties like Incipient type I & II Preexisting type II and 

Newly overt type I comprehensive research goes in the favor 

of insulin in 3-4 divided doses, even OHGA should be withdrawn as earliest possible as pregnancy conceive.

So, one should be  vigilant and must not try any herbal recipes. 

Because no research work has been carried out in any Ay.research 

institute. So I will suggest to  my colleagues, confirm the 

diagnosis and refer such patients to an consultant diabetologist.

In Ay. texts no direct ref is available in the chapter of Prame­ha,  but an indirect ref. is available to us in which our Acharyas describe this problem under repeated abortion 

and month wise herbal recipes are describe in detailed.  

Simultaneously they also discuss a sever problem like post deliv­

ery pains with their remedies, which is an difficult problem of 

modern science till date. 

I think ancient Rishi's  are were well aware about the fact of 

hormonal change in every trimester during pregnancy. A comprehen­

sive research work can be performed with the help of voluntary 

females for the evaluation and establishment of the therapeutic 

effects of these remedies, it is difficult but not impossible.

Ayurveda & Indian Scenario of Cardio Vascular Disease

Indian scenario of Cardiovascular disease

 Although the prevalence of  CVD in India was reported to be comparable to that in united states in 1969s when the US had the second highest CVD mortality in the world, with big geographic difference between different parts of India were present.

Ancient Indian physician Charak and Sushruta Some 2800 years earlier identified the Cardiac disorders as  disorders effecting the people of upper socio economic classes who were Obese,  Lethargic,  Consuming large quantities of fatty food and sweet drinks etc. But there have been limited studies on CVD in India, at Present India is also in a high risk group for the development of  CVD. Some subsets such as immigrants urban and upper socio-economic classes have an unusually high incidence of the disease and mortality. Indians frequently get the disease at a comparatively younger age in the absence of the accepted risk factors.

The prevalence of CVD varies between  4-6 % in rural Indian to 10-12 % in Urban North West India.  How ever in urban south Indians the prevalence is about 16%. The absolute risk of CVD differs from culture to Culture which empahsises the role of various factors responsible for CVD.

Since CVD are Multifactorial in origin therefore the increased
susceptibility of the disease usually associated with increased prevalence of these factors in India -  

      -     High Prevalence of Obesity Particularly Central Obesity with high Hip-Waist
            Ratio.

      -     High Prevalence of Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Impaired Glucose                                    Tolerance Or Increased Concentration of fasting plasma  Insulin .

             Indians have     shown 2.0-3.0 high prevalence of NIDDM

      -     Presence of Dyslipaedimia -High Plasma Triglyceride, Low HDL & High
            Cholesterol Level.

      -     Prevalence of Small Dense LDL particles.

      -     Hyperinsulinaemia, Elevated Proinsulin And Insulin Ratio.

      -     Increased Consumption of Lipoproteins

Simultaneously the type of conventional diet pattern appears to have significant role in promoting the present epidemic of the disease amongst them. The typical Indian diet is cereal based with  increased consumption of total fat and its subtypes may have the pathogenic role in the development of the disease. The basic defect in the Indian diet is the virtual deficiency of highly  unsaturated n-3 fats. The traditional Indian cooking were replaced by n-6 enriched oils. This leads to impairment of  destruction of alpha lipoenic acid and blocks the only available source for obtaining the highly unsaturated n-3 essential fats. So the diets derived from refined cereals and high fat diet with an physiological concentration of n-6 fat elevated n-6/n-3 ratio is a major coronary risk factor in the epidemiology of Indians.

In rural India the prevalence of CVD is also increasing, the reasons are the food habits, Medium Physical activity, Low body weight, Hypercholesteremia etc. Most of the Indian rural population belongs to the poor socio-economic group and the habit of chewing tobacco and smoking are very common which is the major risk factor if  CVD. The unknown CVD cases are also common in rural India .

There are no reports of decline of CVD in India Where as there is marked reduction in the incidence of disease in several western countries.

So we must have to focus on the fact that CVD needs to be prevented and physicians should make every effort to modify reversible risk factors. Primary care physicians are in ideal position to play major role in Preventing the  progression of CVD in India  by Providing some basic Guidelines to the patients prone to the disease.

Ayurveda the holistic Science of India has lot to offer to Medical Science in prevention of  such type of disorders by its unique concepts of Life-style, Diet,  Seasonal regimens and line of treatment which are completely suitable and acceptable by Indians. Only the motivation is required to refresh the knowledge of this oldest Indian science, Which not only deals with the diseases but  deals with the Body, Mind & Disease simultaneously  and that can reverse the major risk factors of  such type of Progressing diseases in India.

Ayurveda & Diabetes

DIABETES & AYURVEDA

When should you seek Ayurvedic intervention ?

It is presumed that only 10 percent diabetics are aware of their diseases. The rest discover it accidentally in routine examination for any surgery , insurance or pregnancy. The news comes with as much shock as disbelief , and nearly 65 percent of causes disregard the diagnosis . while this should be the time to seek Ayurvedic intervention , most of them drift to western meditation.

As a result of this , use of Ayurvedic regimen and modification in the lifestyle are pushed to the backburner , lack of both leads to further imbalance in three doshas , vata , pitta , and kapha . diabetes only seek Ayurvedic when most of the things have alipped  out of their hands , and when they do , they expect miracles . It is better to take preemptive preventive actions in diabetes than curative steps in the same.

It has been observed that the use of western medication regularly or irregularly , with or without exercise , diet control , and lifestyle change , gives rise to a number of complication . what is surprising is that people contemplate of taking up Ayurveda for these complications rather than diabetes , which they should have in the beginning. Here is the list of a couple of complication that push a diabetes to Ayurvedic intervention.

a)      when high doses of medication fail to reduce rational blood sugar level.

b)      A diabetic is not ready to inject insulin.

c)      In case of insulin resistance

Apart form that what hassles a diabetic is a beeline of western medicine – induced symptoms like muscular weakness , pains and aches , weight loss , constipation , depression , irritability , sleeplessness , blurring of vision and sexual debilities..

While seeking Ayurvedic intervention , diabetics have been observed of asking some very blunt and demanding question , like : “can I stop insulin injections from today’’, “How far Iam be before Ican give up these injections forever,” and “can you guarantee me a cure by the Ayurvedic formulation you are recommending !!” diabetes is a lifestyle disorder , and an Ayurvedic expert was never a part of a prospective diabetic’s lifestyle , when he or she was “including much” and trying to catch up with a problem. Still these question ?

In as far as diabetes is concerned , Ayurveda offers much to a diabetic when western medicine has almost given him or her up. Despite this ,if a diabetic wants to see considerable improvement by using Ayurvedic intervention , the best outcome depends on the trust a diabetic bestows in Ayurveda and its expert.

Diabetes origin from Haridwar

The history of origin of various diseases like Fever, Tuberculosis, Skin diseases and Diabetes begins in the Pauranik (mythological) stories in ancient India. As one of the reference of Shiv Purana., Origin of Diabetes is claimed from Kankhal (subtown of Haridwar (Uttarakhand), INDIA, where a yagya (Fire sacrifice) was performed by King Daksha in which all the Devas, Rishis ,Munis were invited .But the invitation was not given to Lord Shiva.

All the invities were offered a very rich diet i,e Havish (made up of mainly with Sugar & Ghee) & was consumed heavily by the invities All the guests took rest for a long period while staying there. But Lord Shiva because of his insult was very annoyed and ordered Veer bhadra to destroy the yagya .By the destructive acts of Veerbhadra , Stampede occurred. To save themselves everybody rushed here & there, by this critical and stressful situation many diseases occurred and Diabetes was one of them .As we see today the main causative factors of the disease are- Sedentary lifestyle, Rich Diet & Stress.

And as per the above mentioned story all these factors were present &confirms the Origin. (Ref: Charak Samhita/Nidansthan/chapter-8/11).

Later the main symptom in Ayurvedic texts is described that insects and flies are attracted to the urine of some people and that the urine tastes sweet (Sweet Urine Disease)  

In Sushruta Samhita (2500 BC) the detailed description of  Diabetes includes symptoms, Diagnosis, prognosis & Treatment ,is available.   

Diabetic Discipline

Diabetic Discipline

Diabetic discipline can keep the patient in good health with controlled blood sugar level.

Lifestyle discipline is of great importance, if a person diagnosed with diabetes the first step is to overview the present life style & discuss it with theDiabetologist. & as per the suggestions diabetic should follow the necessary changes according to severity.

If a diabetic do not go for the life style modifications is definetely inviting complications & troubles in near  future associated with Diabetes.

The Indian system of medicine Ayurveda  recommends life style changes in many ways -

• General Seasonal recommendations
• Individual recommendations as per the genetic nature(Prakurti)
• Specific recommendations as per the disease condition
• Recommendations as per age, geographical  status, individual strength, working style etc.

So by balancing the life style which is the part of Diabetic Discipline & this need involvement of the individual towards disease condition & learning more about the diabetes & its complications .If due to ignorance, once the complications starts taking place than it can not be reversed only increasing pattern can be delayed by strict follow up.

So manage the Diabetes with Diabetic Discipline.
