Types of Diabetes
According to physiology and medicine
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by a deficiency in the production of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. There are two types of diabetes,Type I and Type II. Type I diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood and involves such a severe depletion of insulin that it must be taken by injection everyday. Type II diabetes is usually diagnosed in adulthood, and most often can be managed with diet and oral medication rather than insulin injections.
Symptoms of diabetes include increased frequency of urination, increased and often extreme thirst, increased appetite, weight loss, irritability, and fatigue. Excessive bed wetting is a classic sign of diabetes. These symptoms usually appear over a period of about three weeks.
Short-term complications of diabetes include episodes of both very low and very high blood sugar. Diabetes can also lead to long-term complications. These include changes in vision, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and nerve problems. Careful treatment of diabetes, conscientious compliance with treatment, and regular doctor appointments can help prevent complications from development.

In India, trials under experimental and clinical conditions have shown significant results in lowering blood sugar levels with Gymnema Sylvestre..
The safety of Gymnema sylvestre has been demonstrated by the fact that it has been safely and successfully used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
