Types of Diabetes

 There are two types of Diabetes:
 
Type 1 – Insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes. Considered an irreversible chronic type of diabetes caused by a failure of the pancreas to produce enough insulin. It's when there is enough insulin in the blood, but the cells do not absorb the glucose properly. (5-10% of those diagnosed have Type 1)
 
Type 2 – In type II diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but the cells cannot absorb the glucose. Type II is due in large part to poor diet, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. (Accounts for the majority of diabetes.)

Avoid cooked starchy foods, oily or fried foods, heavy meals, аnd sugary desserts. Take 4 – 5 small meals a day, rather than 2 – 3 large meals.

Lifestyle Habits & Self-Care for Diabetes

Meditation & Exercise

Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Take a Walk. There is plenty of research about the health benefits of a daily 30-minute walk. Take the stairs. Stand up and wash the dishes. Get a stand-up desk. Go for a run. Do some gardening. Park farther away. Exercise is essential. Not only does it aid weight loss, but it also supports the cell's ability to utilize glucose, which improves energy metabolism, reducing fatigue.
 
Also, Yoga, meditation, and exercise are all part of Ayurvedic medicine. These health habits lower stress and also help enhance the flow of hormones in the body. Hormonal imbalance is the root of several diseases and disorders, including diabetes.

  1. I like how clean the page is. i like the colors for the type of site it is . I think the site flows well. There is plenty of intelligent information here. I like the way the site is setup. The only thing is that I tried to get the free almond butter but failed it never gave me a place to put my information in. So I was a little disappointed. Other than that I feel this site is put together very well. Congrats!

  2. I think your site is very awesome. I love the first picture. She looks so calm and lovely.
    I know diabetes is at a very high maybe an all time high and we all need to make sure we don’t develop it. Eating more healthy is the key I think.
    I am now familiar with Ayurvdic remedies and have learned from your post. I know folks who are diabetic that I think would benefit from reading this post.

  3. It is in fact one of the most commonly found disease everywhere, not just America. If it is top 10, then in countries like where I am from which is Brunei, it is one of top 2, the other is stroke because of smoking. I am glad at present, there is a lot of healthy lifestyle and awareness to counter this issue like having a run of 5 km on a monthly basis and weekly cycling on Sunday in our capital city. Having said that, I hope to see some of these products like the Herbal Medicines you mentioned brought in here. As a matter of fact, I should spread the word which would be more convenient. Thanks for sharing this!

  4. Hey Jackie,

    I completely agree with your advice. A healthy diet, an active lifestyle greatly helps with preventative maintenance, and managing diseases such as diabetes. It looks like the supplements your discussed can help too.

    I’ve read mixed information on whether or not Type II Diabetes can be cured. Some say “yes,” while others say no; I’ve even read that you can slow or stop Type II Diabetes, and have your diagnosis reverted to “prediabetic.” What are your thoughts? Have you read anywhere that Type II Diabetes can be completely cured?

    Thanks! 🙂

    • Hi Chris,

      I think you may have Type 1 and II mixed up? Type 1 is more difficult to treat, but I’ve worked with people who have completely reverted to pre diabetic just by altering their diet and lifestyle. Thanks for connecting! ~Jackie

  5. I have been diagnosed diabetes and COPD for 2 years and I followed a wide variety of treatments, thank you for this.
