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.

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.

Reversing Diabetes – Dr.Ravi Sankar Endocrinologist MRCP(UK) CCT – GIM (UK)

Reversing diabetes is a term that usually refers to a significant long-term improvement in insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes.

People with type 2 diabetes that are able to get their HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol (6%) without taking diabetes medication are said to have reversed or resolved their diabetes. This also known as putting diabetes into remission.

Loss of body weight can be particularly beneficial in helping to reverse the progression of diabetes.

With time and dedication, type 2 diabetes can be reversed and the results can be very rewarding, with less tiredness and better all-round health.

If you think you need to come off your diabetes medication, ensure you speak to your healthcare team before doing so.

Understanding how diabetes progresses
The most common cause of type 2 diabetes is obesity-related, which generally follows a vicious cycle pattern:

Diet high in calories -particularly if high in refined carbohydrates.
Insulin levels in the bloodstream rise to cope with the high- and quick-acting carb intake.
Weight is gained around the belly (central or truncal obesity).
Consistently high insulin levels lead to the body’s cells becoming resistant to insulin and commonly lead to weight gain.
High insulin levels also increase weight gain.
Insulin resistance leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, particularly after meals.
The pancreas produces more insulin to cope with rising blood sugar levels
High sugar levels lead to feelings of lethargy and high insulin levels lead to increased hunger.
Hunger often leads to overeating and lethargy, with less physical activity being taken.
Overeating, less activity and high insulin levels all lead to further weight gain and more insulin resistance.
Consistently high demand on the pancreas to produce extra insulin leads to damage of the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells.
Beta cell damage results in the body struggling to produce enough insulin, and steeper rises in blood sugar levels leads to more recognisable symptoms of diabetes, symptoms of diabetes, such as thirst and a frequent need to urinate

An implantable, bioartificial pancreas at the University of Arizona Health Sciences may soon provide a new treatment option for adults and children with Type 1 diabetes.

For the approximately 1.6 million people who live with Type 1 diabetes, insulin is a lifeline. Without it, the body can go into shock, resulting in organ damage, swelling in the brain and even death. Currently, the only way for a person with Type 1 diabetes to get this life-saving insulin is by regularly measuring their blood sugar levels with a self-administered blood test and then giving themselves necessary injections, or by using an insulin pump, an external device that delivers insulin as needed through a tube placed under the skin.

A UArizona Health Sciences research team led by Klearchos Papas, PhD, a professor at the UArizona College of Medicine – Tucson, is closing in on a better solution. Dr. Papas is developing a tiny implantable device that mimics the normal function of the pancreas, the organ responsible for insulin production.

Dr. Papas’ solution comes in the form of an oxygen-enabled implantable pouch packed with islets that are separated and protected from the body’s immune system. The device differs from an insulin pump in that it will closely mimic a normal pancreas and offer more durable, timely and accurate glucose sensing and insulin.

“The beauty of our approach is that instead of having to inject yourself with insulin, you have cells producing it on demand and releasing it as needed,” said Dr. Papas. “You essentially replace the physiological function of insulin production as close to what you had with your original pancreas.”

Diabetes refers to a group of conditions characterized by high levels of blood glucose, commonly known as blood sugar. Glucose comes from digestion of carbohydrates in food, and is carried by the bloodstream to various body tissues. But glucose cannot cross the cell membrane to enter the cells on its own; to do so, it requires assistance from a hormone produced by the pancreas called insulin. Binding of insulin to its receptor on a target cell triggers a signaling cascade that brings glucose transporters to the cell membrane, creating passageways for glucose to enter the cells. In most tissues, muscles for example, glucose is used as an energy source, while in the liver and adipose tissue, it is also stored for later use, in the form of glycogen and fats. When the body is in the fasted state, the liver produces and secretes glucose into the blood, while adipose tissues release free fatty acids to the liver where they are converted into additional metabolic fuel.
Diabetes happens when insulin is either deficient or its action is compromised. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter the cells; it stays in the blood, causing high blood sugar levels.
There are 2 major types of diabetes. Type 1 is when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin; and type 2 is when the body’s cells do not respond well to insulin – they are insulin-resistant. Both types are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors but genetics plays a major role in type 1, while lifestyle is a predominant risk factor for type 2. For this reason, type 1 diabetes usually starts suddenly in childhood, while type 2 progresses gradually during adulthood, going through a so called pre-diabetic stage, which is defined as borderline blood sugar levels. Pre-diabetes is very common. Unhealthy lifestyle is the trigger of pre-diabetes and the main driving force behind its progression to diabetes type 2. The key factors are obesity and physical inactivity.
There are at least 2 ways by which obesity can cause insulin resistance and high blood glucose.
First, in obesity, fat cells have to process more nutrients than they can manage and become stressed. As a result, they release inflammatory mediators, known as cytokines. Cytokines interfere with the signaling cascade by insulin receptor, blocking the action of insulin.
Second, excess adipose tissue releases abnormally large amount of free fatty acids to the liver – an event that normally happens only when the body is fasting. This tricks the liver into producing and releasing more glucose into the blood. High blood glucose stimulates further insulin secretion. Constant high insulin levels de-sensitize body tissues, causing insulin insensitivity.
Intra-abdominal fat appears to produce more fatty acids and cytokines, and therefore has more severe effect on blood glucose, than subcutaneous, or peripheral fat. For this reason, large waist size is a greater risk factor than high body mass index.
Sedentary lifestyle, apart from having indirect effect by causing weight gain, has its own direct impact on insulin resistance. This is because physical activity is required to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Physical activity increases energy demand by the muscles, which consume glucose from the blood, and subsequently from glucose storage in the liver and adipose tissue. High energy expenditure helps to clear up faster the spikes of blood glucose that follow every meal. High energy demand also promotes better cellular response to insulin, increasing insulin sensitivity. Physical inactivity, even for a short period of time, results in consistently higher spikes of blood sugar after meals, which can trigger pre-diabetic changes in healthy individuals, or speed up transition from pre-diabetes to diabetes. This happens not only to over-weight patients, but also to people with seemingly healthy weight.
