Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is affecting millions of people worldwide. It is a disorder in which human body does not produce or properly uses insulin, a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and is required to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy. Without this insulin, the sugar remains in our bloodstream, creating several health related problems like blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage, stroke, amputations and other organ function problems. Finally, left untreated, it can lead to death.Majorly, there are three types of diabetes:

i) Type I, normally develops in children or young adults who are under the age of 30.In this form of diabetes the body destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Once these cells are destroyed, they won’t ever create insulin again.

ii) Type II, it is a condition that occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin.

iii) Gestational Diabetes, this type of diabetes is found in pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

There are several natural ways to avoid this disorder. Some of them are given below:

• Weight reduction is a key of success in managing diabetes; hence take all the measures of carbohydrate control, what you can.
• Exercise regularly for at least 3-4 hours per week or a simple half an hour walk is sufficient. Exercising regularly significantly reduces your diabetes risk, independent of weight
• Take a well balanced diet full of nutritional supplements.
• Stay away from food and beverages that contain added sugars.
• Avoid alcohol.
• Stop eating carbohydrates in massive amounts.
• Stop eating foods crammed full of sugar and stop drinking the sugar.
• Take supplements that contain magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron and vitamins A, C and D.
• Avoid dehydration.
• Do yoga and meditation to avoid stress and to keep you relaxed. Feeling stressed for long periods can make your blood sugar levels raise.
• Reduce your cholesterol level by including high fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans in your diet.
• Avoid flour and baked products, like cookies, cakes, etc.
• Spread your meal at regular intervals.
• Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday.
• Sleep well. Lack of sleep increase insulin resistance.
• Another good tip is to listen to music instead of watching TV, as while eating you are not aware of how much you are eating and will almost always overeat.
