Effective Home Remedies for Diabetes

Diabetes, also known as Diabetes Mellitus, is a kind of chronic disease in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. It occurs due to lack of production of insulin in pancreas and sometimes the cells of the body do not respond properly to the insulin produced.

There are three main type of diabetes such as type 1 DM, type 2 DM and gestational diabetes. Let’s have a glance one by one:

Type 1 DM was previously referred to as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes”, leads to the situation where the body does not produce insulin at all. The reason is unknown. This disease may affect any age group people but usually children and young adults.

Type 2 DM, also known as adult-onset diabetes, is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. This type of disease can also occur at any age. This type may remain undetected for many years but once identified proper treatment should be taken.

Diabetes type 1 and type 2 are chronic and should undergo lifelong treatment.
