Diabetes - How Can Homeopathy Subdue It?

Diabetes is caused due to hormonal imbalance in our bodies. When the equilibrium between hypoglycemia agent secreted by pancreas and hormones related to the sugar levels in the body is disturbed, an individual suffers from diabetes. The disease is of two types: Diabete mellitus (Type-I and Type II) and Diabetes insipidus. When your body fails to release adequate hypoglycemic agent, the food that we consume is not properly converted into sugar or glucose. This is Type-I diabetes. On the contrary, if the body releases a defective hypoglycemic agent, one suffers from Type-II diabetes. Type-1 diabetes is sometimes called juvenile diabetes, or glucose regulator-dependent diabetes. Type 1 occurs more frequently in children and young adults, but accounts for only 5-10% of the total diabetes cases nationwide. The basic symptoms of diabetes include changing sugar levels, excessive urination, thirst, weight loss and a lack of energy. Diabetes is caused due to a number of factors, ranging from environmental matters or hereditary links.
