Your diet plays an important role in managing diabetes. One reason is that the food you eat on a day to day basis has a direct impact on your blood sugar levels. For instance, high carb foods raise your blood sugar levels. The digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the blood. But then again, not all carbohydrates are bad. Complex carbohydrates like whole grains take longer to digest while simple carbs like white flour and refined sugar may cause sudden spikes in your blood sugar levels.
Indian foods are deeply rooted in history and are probably one of the oldest foods known to mankind. Traditional Indian foods are extremely diverse, just as its geography. Many staple foods, species and vegetables in the Indian diet are very good for people with diabetes.
So, in this video we will be discussing 5 such traditional Indian foods that have been scientifically proven to have health benefits for people suffering from diabetes.

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. It is the most common diabetic complication, affecting at least 50% of all patients.
Chronic high blood sugar levels cause progressive injury to neurons. Sensory neurons are usually the first to be affected, followed by autonomic neurons that control internal organs. Rarely, motor neurons that activate voluntary movements may also be impaired later in the disease, albeit to a lesser extent.
There are several types of diabetic neuropathy. A patient may develop more than one type at a time.
The most common is peripheral neuropathy. It’s also called “distal symmetric polyneuropathy” because it typically involves multiple peripheral nerves, on both sides of the body, and affects the longest sensory axons that convey sensations from the feet, legs, and hands. Symptoms develop on the body in that order and include numbness, tingling, or burning sensation, which usually worsen at night. Sensitivity to pain can either be exaggerated, or, on the contrary, lost. Loss of sensation leads to increased risk of painless injuries, which often go unnoticed and therefore untreated. This, together with slow healing caused by diabetes, can turn minor cuts or blisters into serious infections.
Autonomic neuropathy affects nerves that control activities of internal organs.
In cardiac autonomic neuropathy, nerves that regulate heart rate and blood pressure are damaged. As a result, the body reacts more slowly to change of position, and patients may feel lightheadedness when standing up. Other signs include rapid heart rates, or sudden, unexplained changes in heart rate.
In the digestive system, nerve damage may cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, slow stomach emptying, and bowel problems.
Neuropathy in the urinary and reproductive systems may lead to urinary retention, hesitancy, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunctions.
Nerve damage in the eyes can cause slower adjustment to changes in light and darkness.
Nerve damage in sweat glands may result in either absence of sweat or heavy sweating, especially at night; different parts of the body may also produce sweat differently.
Another effect of autonomic neuropathy is hypoglycemia unawareness, meaning the body is unaware when blood sugar levels are low. Warning signs such as hunger or dizziness cannot be felt, and patients may pass out before taking steps to increase their blood sugar.
Mononeuropathy, or focal neuropathy, is dysfunction of a single nerve, typically due to entrapment. A common example is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the median nerve is compressed as it passes through a narrow tunnel in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand. Damage to a cranial nerve can cause problems with vision or loss of control of facial muscles.
Proximal neuropathy is a rare type of nerve damage affecting the thighs, hip, buttock, and occasionally, the abdomen or chest, typically on one side of the body. Symptoms include severe pain in the affected areas, and thigh muscle weakness and wasting.
Diabetic neuropathy can be prevented by effectively controlling blood sugar levels. Managing diabetes also helps slow the progression of damage.
Treatments aim to relieve pain and symptoms, to restore functions and prevent further complications. Treatments vary depending on the affected organs.

Too low in pregnancy is different than the definition of low in a non-pregnant adult. Different phases of pregnancy pose different risks of severe lows, which are more common in early pregnancy. Fingersticks need to be used to validate CGM measured lows. Stacking of insulin needs to be avoided to avoid swinging from high to low and back again.

When a person gets his blood sugar checked and finds that there is an increase in the blood sugar levels, immediately they are advised medications. This medication infect is to bring down the blood sugar level and is not to treat the diabetes as a whole because what we see is inspite blood sugar levels remaining low, people suffer from complications like diabetic neuropathy congestive cardiac issues kidney failure, blindness etc. we are talking about type 2 diabetes. Why does this happen? This is because the medication masks the condition by bringing down the blood sugar levels. In Ayurveda the diabetes is correlated to madhumeha where all the three doshas, the vata, pitta and kapha are in imbalance. There is no single mode of management. It is complete lifestyle change because what we see it is a resultant of a long period of a faulty lifestyle. So it takes equal amount of time to get it reversed. There are basic methods to reverse diabetes especially among youngsters because they are the maximum ones suffering because of faulty lifestyle and becoming obese or overweight. The first method is to control the diet. What people do is take off carbohydrate, instead take out refined carbohydrates and incorporate fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals and along with unrefined carbohydrates like the whole grain because this is rich in fibre that is essential. The next is exercise to reduce your body weight because obesity to reduce body weight. Here obesity is one of the primary reasons to become diabetic. Exposure to early morning sunlight is essential to fight diabetes. Do not sleep during the daytime. The next factor is stress. Yoga and meditation keeps the mind calm and keeps the complication of diabetes due to stress. The other factor is to incorporate certain spices in the diet like turmeric, fenugreek, cinnamon fights the insulin resistance from the body. These helps in reversing diabetes. But in some cases the toxic build-up is so much that in spite of following all this their blood sugar does not come down. In such conditions the detoxification programme of Ayurveda, what we call as the panchkarma treatment is essential to get off the toxicity and follow healthy lifestyle. With this there can be lot of changes, in paediabetic people it is seen to reverse diabetic status. In diabetic we can avoid complication and improve the quality of life.

Did you know that over 450 million people around the world currently have diabetes? Diabetes is an often debilitating condition that is the second-leading cause of amputation and the number-one cause of blindness among adults.

But we may be close to curing diabetes with the help of a printed pancreas. The new technology is the future of lab-grown organs for the replacement of body parts, and it’s surprisingly advanced.

Readily3D, a spin-off of EPFL, developed a new method to print biological tissues using a biological gel that contains the patient’s stem cells. A laser is used to harden the gel by polymerization, and the laser beam’s position and intensity may be adjusted to harden the portions of gel required to make the appropriate tissue.

Impressively enough, the method takes just 30 seconds for living tissue to be printed out on a bioprinter complete with blood vessels and all. This has never been done before and could revolutionize how we produce replacement organs.

The printed pancreas secretes a spectrum of critical hormones like insulin, which help regulate blood sugar levels. From now on, diabetes could soon be treated by creating a bio-printed pancreas to exactly match the patient’s deficient one.

This could eliminate the need to put patients on drugs that often have nefarious side effects and also get rid of animal testing. The solution is a win-win for all.

Moreover, the technology could also one day be used to build all kinds of other organs.

In Peter Attia’s podcast The Drive Episode 194, he interviews Rick Johnson and they spend over two hours explaining how fructose causes metabolic disease: obesity, type 2 diabetes, etc. But it needs to be simplified and explained, and that’s what I do in this video!

Dr. Johnson’s hypothesis is that fructose is prime cause of metabolic syndrome and the rapid uptick of modern diseases. He writes about it in his new book “Nature Wants Us to Be Fat”. It explains a lot:

Why it’s harder to stay lean when we get older.
Why athletes seem like they can eat anything they want.
Why most traditional calorie restrictions diets are so hard to maintain
Why keto, low-carb, and paleo diets have had so much success

And importantly, his theory of fructose metabolism is still totally consistent with thermodynamics, and the equation “Calories in minus calories out equals weight gained” is still true.
