Introduction
In general, doctors usually advise a diabetic person that he can drink alcohol safely in moderation. A healthy and balanced diet is must for such people. Regular exercise is also needed to control the blood sugar. But if you are an insulin dependent, or you are taking certain oral medications for diabetes, this alcohol consumption can worsen the symptoms of this condition. Hence, you should stay on the safe side and avoid alcohol consumption.
In normal process, our liver releases the glucose to maintain the healthier blood sugar level in our body. When you drink alcohol, your liver instead of releasing glucose remains busy in breaking the alcohol down and hence releasing process of glucose gets disturbed. This can lead to decrease in blood sugar level, especially if you are drinking alcohol on an empty stomach.
Types of Diabetes
In general, there are three types of diabetes (Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational diabetes) but Pre-diabetes is also a stage of diabetes, in which, blood glucose level of a person is higher than normal, but still not high enough to be considered diabetes.
The Three Types of Diabetes are Explained below:
1. Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is the first type of diabetes in which pancreas produces no insulin or very low insulin. It usually occurs in people who are under the age of 20.
2. Type 2 diabetes
In this type of diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use it properly. It is more common in people who are overweight.
3. Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes can occur in women during the third trimester of pregnancy and disappears after the birth of a child.
Ayurveda and Diabetes
Ayurveda is one of an ancient healthcare system which helps to maintain the tridoshas of our body and thereby support the overall health of our body. The Vata (air and space), Pitta (fire and water) and Kapha (water and earth) dosha are the three doshas of the body which are considered as the energies of the body. The word Ayurveda is a combination of two words “Ayu” (means longevity) and “Veda” (means science). So Ayurveda means the “Science of life”.
According to Ayurveda, aggravation of the Kapha dosha is the main cause of diabetes. Diabetes is known as “Prameha” in Ayurveda and untreated “Prameha” leads to “Madhumeha” (Type 2 diabetes)
