Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Diabetes mellitus is a hormone deficiency disease where there is either lack of Insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin or both. This leads to derangement of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Hence the treatment is to improve insulin action, by using drugs which reduce resistance to it, or give insulin secretion stimulating drugs or give insulin itself. Plus there has to be a lifestyle adaption with balanced diet, regular exercise. Patients with diabetes should avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, foods made from maida. Almost all fruits can be eaten in moderation. But fruits like mango, grapes, banana and chikkoo should be taken less. Daily exercise of over one hour is necessary. Plus normal weight should be maintained. Thanks.
