Diabetes - particularly Type 2 Diabetes – is a chronic, complex metabolic disorder.
Due to low levels of insulin, glucose is slow to be absorbed and stays in the blood stream for extended periods of time. As a result, it becomes difficult to convert glucose into energy for cells and metabolic pathways. Many serious complications can occur if left untreated. In conjunction with diet adjustments and a holistic health and wellness plan, Ayurveda and PHFs have been shown to be an effective alternative modality of treatment in addressing Diabetes.1
Diabetes & Respiratory Complications / COVID-19:
With diabetes, patients are at greater risk for having other chronic conditions & even infection, due to spikes in blood glucose (very high levels or very low levels). Low blood glucose increases risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a potentially life-threatening condition that makes it difficult to cope with COVID-19 complications (due to poorer fluid and electrolyte regulation). High blood glucose may prevent the release of infection-fighting white blood cells, further increasing infection risk.Our PHF research has shown significant improvements in the condition of patients with Diabetes:
