Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition where the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This results in little to no insulin production. Insulin is a hormone essential for converting glucose (sugar) from food into energy.
Key Points About Type 1 Diabetes:
- Causes: The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it’s believed to involve genetic and environmental factors that trigger an autoimmune response.
- Symptoms: Common symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, extreme hunger, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. Symptoms can develop quickly, over days or weeks.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is typically confirmed through blood tests that measure blood glucose levels, including fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance test, and HbA1c test (which measures average blood glucose over the past 2-3 months).
- Homoeopathy Treatment:
Commonly considered homeopathic remedies for managing diabetes might include:
- Syzygium Jambolanum: Often recommended for symptoms related to high blood sugar levels and to support overall glucose metabolism.
- Phosphoric Acid: Sometimes used for symptoms of fatigue and weakness associated with diabetes.
- Gymnema Sylvestre: Believed to help manage blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for sweets.
- Uranium Nitricum: May be used for symptoms related to severe diabetes with frequent urination and weight loss.
