Insulin resistance and Diabetes mellitus
A Homeopathic Approach
At ExpertHomeo, Dr. A.B. Ram Jyothis MD (HOM) brings over 20 years of clinical experience to address complex metabolic disorders like insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Our innovative, patient-centered methods have significantly relieved countless patients, offering a natural alternative to conventional treatments.
Understanding Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is a condition where cells in your body don't respond effectively to the hormone insulin. This leads to difficulty in absorbing glucose from the bloodstream, causing elevated blood sugar levels.
Causes of Insulin Resistance
- - Obesity and excess body fat, especially around the waist
- - Sedentary lifestyle
- - Genetics
- - Certain medications
- - Hormonal disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Common Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- - Increased hunger and cravings
- - Fatigue
- - Difficulty concentrating
- - High blood pressure
- - Darkened skin in certain areas (acanthosis nigricans)
Diabetes Mellitus: When Insulin Resistance Progresses
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, often develops from insulin resistance.
Causes of Diabetes Mellitus
- - Insulin resistance progressing to inadequate insulin production
- - Autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells (in Type 1 diabetes)
- - Genetic predisposition
- - Lifestyle factors, including diet and lack of physical activity
Common Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
- - Increased thirst and frequent urination
- - Unexplained weight loss
- - Blurred vision
- - Slow-healing wounds
- - Recurring infections
