PREFACE

During the course of about fifteen years of medical practice, I realized that all the diabetic patients who came for treatment, whether they were highly educated or illiterate, all have lack of awareness about diabetes and they were completely ignorant to its complications. Everyone had a lot of question and confusion in their mind and due to these, they were not able to control their blood sugar properly.

Diabetes is a disease in which more effort and understanding is required to be shown by the patient himself. The most important thing to control diabetes is to educate the patient. The father of diabetes, Professor Joslin said, The diabetic who knows more, lives more means that more a diabetic patient knows about his disease, the more days he lives. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, amputation, heart disease, kidney failure and early death. Simple awareness can reduce the risk. World Diabetes Day (WDD) is celebrated globally on November 14 to raise awareness about both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients.

Diabetes is not a new disease; it is mentioned in all the oldest texts of Ayurveda since about five thousand years ago. Along with its origin, medicine is also described in detail in these texts. In the medical context, it has been clearly told that there are two types of diabetic patients, one is obese and the other is lean & thin. This is what modern medical science has described as type-1 and type-2 diabetes. Diabetic patients often complain related to meal. They often say that how can anyone eat the same boring food every day. There is no taste in food and the mind is not satisfied as much as it is eaten. A separate chapter has been given to solve this problem. There are also common misconceptions in diabetic patients. A chapter has also been given to resolve this.

The main purpose of writing this book is that everyone should know about diabetes. By reading this book you can get rid of your misconceptions and achieve long & healthy life.
