Ayurvedic tips to overcome Diabetes

Diabetes is simply termed as insulin deficiency. Ayurveda stresses on regulating the flow of insulin in the body and thereby treating the crux of the problem than on just maintaining the sugar levels. Before getting into the Ayurvedic tips for regulating your insulin flow, let us learn on the types of insulin deficiency and understand how these tips will help in settling those problems.

Secreted by pancreas, insulin is the key hormone that facilitates the movement of glucose through blood to vital parts of the body like your liver, muscles and fat cells – the store houses of energy.

When this insulin becomes deficient in one’s body they are termed diabetic and the condition is called diabetes. However insulin deficiency types are segregated as Type I and II. Type I is when the body becomes incapable of producing insulin and type II is when the body by itself becomes resistant to the action of insulin.
