Diabetic cases are increasing than any other disease in the past 2 decades. Kerala is going to become the diabetic capital of the world soon.  In every 8 seconds one patient dies due to diabetes. It is estimated that, there are more than 285 million diabetes patients in the world. It is also supposed to be doubled by 2030. Among this, as per the statistical reports more number of diabetes affected patients will be from continents like Asia and Africa.
 There are two types of diabetes- Type 1 and Type 2. In this, type 1 is mostly prevalent among children. As per statistical reports, type 2 diabetes is the most common among 90% of the Keralites. Lifestyle, lack of exercise, continuous use of high-calorie food items, obesity/overweight, intake of certain medicines, genetic issues etc. are some of the major causes of Type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes Treatment
------------------
 Mainly, there are three types of treatments for diabetes in homeopathy. They are: Controlling the disease, disease recovery and disease prevention.
Â
Tests and diagnosis
-------------------
 There are four lab tests used to diagnose diabetes, which includes RBS, FBS, HBA1C, C Peptide etc. But, in certain types of diabetic cases, some new tests like AIA (Anti Insulin Antibody), Islet Cell Antibody etc are being used. In this, the C-Peptide test will help to understand the functioning condition of the pancreas gland.
 In Type 1 diabetes, C-Peptide level is important for the treatment. HBA1C test will help to decide on the type of treatment to be given. It is according to the result of this test, the doctor decides whether to give medication to reduce the sugar level in the blood. If diabetes is caused due to antibodies like AIA and Anti ICA, the treatment options in homeopathy will be same as the treatments for autoimmune diseases. As the diabetes is a condition treated using a complete treatment protocol in homeopathy, credible lab results are highly necessary.
Â
Controlling the disease
-----------------------
 Controlling the disease is based on the severity and depth of the disease that are determined with the help of lab tests. Medication is prescribed by completely understanding the mental and physical health of the patient, issues caused by the disease etc. and analyzing them through a procedure called reportarisation. So, patient should give complete details about his disease family history of all diseases his physical and mental characters etc  to the doctor.
Â
Diabetes is a s symptomatic disease. So in some cases Homeopathic Doctors shall suggest special treatment to reduce the symptoms of Diabetes for short period. Patients never quit treatment as and when symptoms are reduced. It is at that time patient should switch over to curative treatment.
Â
 Disease Recovery
  ----------------
As per the basic principles of Homeopathy, a complete recovery from diseases like diabetes will be possible only through anti miasmatic treatments considering the disease-causing miasm. A complete recovery from the disease will be based on how well the pancreas gland functions. Treatment will yield good results within a short period of time in patients during the early stages of diabetes and even in later stages if C Peptide is enough to bring back patients to normal metabolism.
Â
Preventive Measures
-------------------
Homeopathic Preventive treatment is not intended for all patients. A Plan of Diabetes prevention will be there in the mind of your Homeopathic doctor while you are treated for other diseases too.  Such a plan of treatment will provide to all patients with family history of Diabetes mellitus and for patients who lead a life style that precipitates Diabetes.  Anti miasmic constitution medicines will be selected only after analyzing various factors like risk factors for diabetes, the patient's mental, physical and health statuses, family medical history etc. Along with this treatment, the patient should also give importance to proper exercise, nutritional food items, and mental health.
 Proper Homeopathic treatment and a change of life style can reduce the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus. People should check their C peptide to know whether it is curable or not curable. A curable Diabetes case must submit for Homeopathic treatment and an incurable case shall be treated with any system of treatment.
