It is unfortunate that most of diabetics think insulin is the medicine to cure diabetes. The fact is that insulin is the only management of the case. It is the substitute to replace the insulin deficiency in the body. Similarly various diet restrictions also are the complementary substances to mange diabetes. But what about cure? Cure I mean the stage of life where the patient will not take anti diabetes medicine any more and still live a healthy life. We see a patient of diabetes is put under medication first then after some days we find that he has to replace medicine with low doses of insulin injection. After few more days the insulin doses are still increased. Some time later we see that the patient has developed diabetes cataract, diabetes foot etc.  This is not at all the cure. Though we have prepared diabetes sweets to diabetes shoes but these are only for the management of the case. Why are not we thinking of cure?

In homeopathy we have a very promising approach to cure diabetes. Here the approach sounds very peculiar and it needs a lot of sincerity from the homoeopath to prescribe the remedy. In homeopathy the

Diabetes is one of the chronic illnesses covered by the government’s <a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.callcarenet.com/products.asp”> disease management</a> program that promotes an individual’s overall health state who is suffering from this type of chronic illness.  Theoretically speaking, as an individual who is having diabetes, there really is nothing that can stop you from doing the things that you are used to doing prior to having diabetes.  However in practice, especially now that you have the disease, you will have to make some lifestyle modifications that will allow you to manage your disease appropriately.

<a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.callcarenet.com/products.asp”> disease management</a> is not about treating an active or acute ill health. But rather managing the disease through alleviation and/or easing the associated signs and symptoms brought by it.  In the case of diabetes, it’s all about lowering down the blood sugar to acceptable values ranging from 70-150 mg/dl.  This is however attainable by making certain lifestyle changes in terms of diet intake.

In controlling diabetes, one should keep in mind the importance of monitoring the blood sugar levels consistently.  Controlling diabetes with diet is one of the many ways you can control it.  Once blood glucose levels are determined, finding some ways on how to

Coffee has been a drink that people consume everyday, especially during breakfast. There are many negative reports on consuming coffee mainly due to its caffeine. A study reported in the Archives of Internal medicine that there is a link between drinking coffee and a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, it is still not clear that whether the protective effect is due caffeine or other ingredients presented in coffee.

Diabetes has been considered a risk factor of heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes develops when pancreas does not make enough insulin or when insulin cannot be used by the body properly. Insulin is a hormone that converts sugars into energy. This form of diabetes is commonly found among people aged 40 and above, especially those overweight and physically inactive.

The study, conducted by the University of Minnesota, examined over 28,000 postmenopausal women over a period of 11 years (1986 -1997). Women who drank more than 6 cups of coffee per day were less likely to be diagnosed with diabetes. Those who drank decaffeinated coffee showed a further reduced risk.

Questions were answered by these women about risk factors for diabetes, and details given about their lifestyle and beverage consumption (including regular

Diabetes insipidus is usually the result of the body’s inability to appropriately produce, store or release a hormone that increases water absorption by the kidneys and decreases urine flow. The balance of fluid within the body is maintained through a number of mechanisms. One important chemical involved in fluid balance is called antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is produced by the pituitary, a small gland located at the base of the brain. In a healthy person and under normal conditions, ADH is continuously released. ADH influences the amount of fluid that the kidneys reabsorb into the circulatory system and the amount of fluid that the kidneys pass out of the body in the form of urine. Production of ADH is regulated by the osmolality of the circulating blood. Osmolality refers to the concentration of dissolved chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride; together called solute) circulating in the fluid base of the blood (plasma). When there is very little fluid compared to the concentration of solute, the pituitary will increase ADH production. This tells the kidneys to retain more water and to decrease the amount of urine produced. As fluid is retained, the concentration of solute will normalize. At other times,
