HOMOEOPATHY FOR DIABETES MELLITUS

DIABETES MELLITUS

Homoeopathy for Diabetes Mellitus:

Diabetes is a degenerative metabolic disorder. This results due to decreased level of insulin or impaired insulin secretion in the body.

TYPE 1 Diabetes mellitus (DM):

Previously known as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM): Type 1 DM is categorized into two subgroups, i.e., type 1A and type 1B. Type 1A results from autoimmune ß cell destruction, which usually leads to insulin deficiency; where as type 1B DM occurs due to lack of immunologic marker inductive of an autoimmune destructive process of the ß cells. Type 1 DM is hereditary in character and develops before the age of 30 years. The patient is young, lean and thin, and has an absolute requirement for insulin therapy. 

Symptoms:

TYPE 1 DIABETES

1) Increased thirst
2) Increased micturation
3) Weight loss in spite of Increased/normal appetite
4) Fatigueness
5) Nausea
6) Vomiting   

TYPE 2 Diabetes mellitus:

Previously known as Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

TYPE 2 DIABETES

Type 2 DM is characterized by a variable degree of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and increased glucose production. Type 2 DM more typically develops with increase in age; it also occurs in children, particularly in obese adults. It does not require insulin therapy.

Symptoms:

1) Increased thirst
2) Increased micturation
3) Increased appetite

4) Blurred vision
5) Slow healing infections
6) Fatigueness
7) Impotency in men  

Gestational DM: This type of Diabetes mellitus is recognized during pregnancy. This is a temporarily condition and it is due to insulin resistance related to its metabolic changes. It affects 2 to 4 % of all pregnancies with an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.

Diabetes insipidus

A form of diabetes resulting from a deficiency of vasopressin, a pituitary hormone that regulates the kidneys. It is characterized by the chronic excretion of large amounts of pale dilute urine which results in dehydration and severe thirst.

Other Causes

• Drug or chemical induced Diabetes mellitus: Some drugs such as Nicotinic acid, Glucocorticoids, Thyroid hormones, Diazoxide betaadrenergic agonists, Thiazides, ß blockers etc causes DM.
• Endocrinal Diseases: Hyperthyroidism, Hypersecretion of Adrenal cortex, Hyperpituitarism, Cushing’s syndrome, Pheochromocytoma, Acromegaly, Somatostatinoma.
• Diseases of Pancreas: Pancreatitis, Cystic Fibrosis, Hemochromatosis, Pancreatopathy, Cancer of pancreas, Pancreactectomy.
• Other Genetic Syndrome sometime associated with DM like as Down’s syndrome, Klinefelter’s Syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, Huntington’s corea

RISK FACTORS FOR TYPE 2 Diabetes mellitus

OBESITY

• A strong family history
• Obesity
• Age equal or greater than 45 years
• History of GDM
• Hypertension (Blood pressure = 140/90 mmHg)
• HDL cholesterol level greater than or equal to 35 mg/dl
• Triglyceride level greatmoreer than 250 mg/dl
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome 

Diabetes complications 

Diabetes complications begin due to damages in the blood vessels and nerves

because of high-level of glucose in blood (uncontrolled diabetes), increased cholesterol level, and high blood pressure.

Common diabetes complications due to Non-controlled and prolonged diabetes are heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, loss of a toe (or foot), and erectile dysfunction.

1. Diabetic neuropathy due to the damages in nerves in body  
2. Heart disease, stroke, heart attacks are all caused due to blockage of blood vessels because of decreased levels of oxygen

COMPLICATION

3. Diabetic retinopathy caused due to blood vessel damage in retina causing lack of blood circulation thus lack of oxygen to nourish retina and in extreme cause leakage of blood in the retina.
4. Diabetes nephropathy or kidney diseases are caused due to a small blood vessel of kidney is damaged due to long run of high blood-glucose.
5. Erectile dysfunction or impotence is due to over-all nerve damage, and  nerves in penis.
6. Urinary incontinence, over active bladder, bladder problems are all cause by nerve damage due to prolonged high blood-glucose.
