Diabetes Drama

Diabetes is a long-term condition where the body cannot properly control blood sugar levels. This occurs when the body either fails to produce enough insulin or cannot utilize it effectively. As a result, extra sugar stays in the blood, which can harm nerves and blood vessels, leading to serious health issues like vision loss and kidney problems.

The diabetes types include the less common Type 1, the more common Type 2, and the gestational. There is a high prevalence of diabetes esp. Type 2 diabetes, in India, including many undiagnosed cases. We have around 77 million diabetics, esp. Type 2 version, and around 25 million prediabetic. 

Certain aspects of your job make diabetes worse. Long working hours, irregular shifts, sitting for long periods, stress, and limited access to healthy food can all contribute to higher risks.

Ayurveda refers to diabetes as Madhumeha, a metabolic issue caused by imbalances in the Doshas, particularly the Kapha Dosha, and impaired Agni. To ensure your workplace doesn’t push you towards diabetes or make it worse, follow simple Ayurvedic tips and take Patanjali products.
