Diabetes & Yoga
Introduction –
Diabetes mellitus represents a cluster of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). This may be as a result of defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both.

DIABETES ACUPUNCTURE

Insulin treatment
Reviewed by Professor Ian W Campbell, consultant physician

How Does a Person Aquire Diabetes ?
Diabetes is a condition where the body, or to be precise the pancreas, loses its ability to create insulin, the chemical necessary to regulate blood sugar levels. As we take in food, a substance called glucose enters through the bloodstream, and it is insulin’s role to make sure that that glucose is carried to different parts of the body, in turn fuels us with the energy we need. Diabetes is often considered as a silent disease, much like cancer and nearly five out of …

By Laura Reynolds, eHow Contributing Writer
Planning a dinner party for a group of diabetics is not too difficult. Planning a dinner for a group where no one is diabetic is not difficult. Why, then, do we panic when we have a mixed group? We end up catering to one group over another, often serving a diabetic menu to meat-and-potatoes fans. Baby Boomers, who were raised on sugared cereals, French fries and soda pop, are beginning to have to pay the piper as type …

What causes diabetes?
Insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body’s needs), production of defective insulin (which is uncommon), or the inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This latter condition affects mostly the cells of muscle and fat tissues, and results in a condition known as “insulin resistance.” This is the primary problem in type 2 diabetes. The absolute lack of insulin, usually secondary to a destructive process affecting …
