What is Diabetes?
LeafOverview

What is Diabetes?

According to the WHO, Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t make enough insulin.

Diabetes and Ayurveda
LeafDiabetes and Ayurveda

Diabetes and Ayurveda

Ayurveda focuses on maintaining excellent digestion, or agni. Weak agni (often called agnimandya) can lead to the accumulation of digestive toxins, called ama. This ama then gets deposited in the tissues, or dhatus. Deposition of ama provides a home for the localisation of the aggravated dosha, leading to disease manifestation. According to Ayurveda, there are 20 types of prameha (condition characterised by an increase in urine frequency), or polyuria. Madumeha is the Ayurvedic diagnosis that approximates the ‘diabetes mellitus’ label, representing a subgroup of prameha. In the early stages the disease is Kapha predominant, with polyuria and aggravation of Medo (fat) dhatu. With progression of Madumeha, Pitta and then Vata doshas become aggravated, with the disease being more difficult to cure at this later stage. Causes of madumeha include familial predisposition, physical inactivity, and both mental and environmental stress. Dietary habits related to Vata dosha, such as irregular meal times and too many sweet, sour, and salty foods, also play an important aetiologic role.

LeafTypes

What are the Types of Diabetes?

Symptoms of diabetes may differ in presentation based on the patient’s blood sugar levels. While in type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes, symptoms may not show up initially or easily, type 1 diabetes symptoms are often severe and quick to damage.
What are the Types of Diabetes?
In type 1 diabetes, beta cells produce little or no insulin. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of going into the cells. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system by mistake attacks and kills the beta cells present in the pancreas. It usually develops in childhood or adolescence. Around 5 to 10 percent of people suffering from diabetes are known to have Type 1 diabetes. It was formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile-onset diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. This type of diabetes is the most common among all, and about 80 to 90 percent of people suffering from diabetes are known to have type 2 diabetes. It was formerly known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes.
It is a state of intermediate hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but do not yet meet the threshold for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
The ⁠World Health Organization (WHO) defines gestational diabetes as "hyperglycaemia with blood glucose values above normal but below those diagnostic of diabetes" that occurs or is first recognised during pregnancy.
LeafCauses

Causes

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes

  • Autoimmune destruction (immune cells get triggered and start attacking body’s own cells) of insulin-producing cells (β-cells) in the pancreas
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Viral infections that may trigger the autoimmune process (immune cells get triggered and start attacking body’s own cells) in susceptible individuals
Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes

  • Obesity (especially excess body weight)
  • PMOS
  • Chronic sleep deprivation
  • Chronic stress
  • Sedentary lifestyle (lack of physical activity)
  • Unhealthy diet rich in refined carbohydrates, sugary foods, and saturated fats
  • Genetic predisposition / family history
LeafSymptoms

What are the Symptoms of Diabetes?

Symptoms of diabetes may differ in presentation based on the patient’s blood sugar levels. While in type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes, symptoms may not show up initially or easily, type 1 diabetes symptoms are often severe and quick to damage.
What are the Symptoms of Diabetes?
Filtering excess glucose from the blood requires the kidneys to work overtime, resulting in the need to urinate more frequently than usual.
Rapid fluid loss due to frequent urination can trigger a feeling of thirst that may be difficult to satisfy.
If your body's cells cannot take in glucose for energy due to a lack of insulin, you may experience intense hunger. You may feel hungry all the time even after eating.
If there is insufficient insulin to assist your body's cells in taking in glucose, your body will begin to use muscle and fat for energy, which can lead to unexplained and rapid weight loss.
A distinctively sweet and fruit-like odour from the breath can be caused as a result of ketones being expelled through the lungs. This can be considered another indication of DKA risk.
Insulin resistance causes fat to be stored, especially in the abdomen. This can cause gradual weight gain over time.
It is easy for bacteria and fungi to thrive in an environment with high blood sugar levels, leading to frequent uninary tract, skin and yeast infections.
Dehydration from excess urination and poor circulation can result in a loss of moisture from the skin, causing persistent itching and dryness.
How Is Diabetes Diagnosed?
LeafDiagnoses

How Is Diabetes Diagnosed?

The World Health Organization (WHO) diagnoses diabetes mellitus in adults using any one of the following blood test criteria:

  • HbA1c: ≥ 6.5% (≥ 48 mmol/mol)
  • Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG): ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (≥ 126 mg/dL)
  • 2-Hour Plasma Glucose: ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥ 200 mg/dL) during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
  • Random Plasma Glucose: ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥ 200 mg/dL) in the presence of classic diabetes symptoms

Fasting Blood Glucose

A fasting plasma glucose test is taken after at least eight hours of fasting and is therefore usually taken in the morning.

  • Normal: <100 mg/dl
  • Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dl
  • Diabetes: >125mg/dl

Post Prandial Blood Glucose

A 2-hour postprandial blood sugar test measures blood sugar exactly 2 hours after the patient starts eating a meal.

  • Normal: <140 mg/dl
  • Prediabetes: 140-200 mg/dl
  • Diabetes: >200 mg/dl

GTT

A glucose tolerance test is used to determine a person’s ability to handle a glucose load.

  • Normal: <140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140- 200 mg/dl
  • Diabetes: >200 mg/dL

HbA1C

It shows your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. The HbA1c test measures how much glucose is bound to Hb.

  • Normal: < 5.7%
  • Prediabetes: 5.7-6.5%
  • Diabetes: >6.5%

Serum insulin

  • This test measures the amount of insulin in the blood.
  • Normal fasting insulin levels: 5-15 pU/mL

LeafRisks

What are the Risks Associated with Diabetes?

Heart Disease

Heart Disease

Diabetes damages blood vessels and increases the risk of heart attacks and artery disease.

Stroke

Stroke

High blood sugar accelerates the build-up of arterial plaque and increases the chances of blood clots, causing a stroke.

Hypertension

Hypertension

Insulin resistance can stiffen blood vessels, resulting in high blood pressure levels

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes causes damage to the retinal blood vessels and can gradually impair vision, causing blindness potentially

LeafFAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Effective obesity management addresses the metabolic root causes, not just calorie intake. It combines dietary correction, physical activity, hormonal and digestive support, and Panchakarma detoxification with herbal formulations that correct insulin resistance and fat metabolism together. Madhavbaug’s obesity management programme brings all of these into one clinically supervised, non-surgical protocol.

The 4 M’s are Motivation, Movement, Meals, and Medication. Motivation addresses behavioural and psychological drivers of weight gain. Movement covers structured physical activity. Meals focus on dietary quality and timing. Medication refers to clinical support where lifestyle changes alone are insufficient.

The 3-3-3 rule suggests three meals a day, three hours between the last meal and sleeping, and three litres of water daily. It helps build consistent eating habits but does not address the metabolic causes of obesity. A supervised clinical programme produces more reliable and lasting results.

Yes. Madhavbaug’s obesity management programme is non-surgical. Panchakarma, herbal medicines, dietary correction, and structured exercise achieve weight reduction by correcting the internal conditions driving fat accumulation.

Treatments that correct the underlying metabolic causes, like insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, and impaired digestion, produce more lasting results than calorie restriction alone. Madhavbaug’s Ayurvedic weight loss programme addresses these root causes through Panchakarma, herbal formulations, a supervised diet, and Cardiac Metabolic Therapy.
