What causes diabetes, and how can it be managed naturally? - #14669
I recently found out that a family member has diabetes, and I’m trying to understand more about what causes it and how to manage it. I know that it’s related to blood sugar, but I don’t fully understand why some people develop diabetes while others don’t. What exactly causes diabetes, and what are the differences between Type 1 and Type 2? I read that Type 1 happens when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells, while Type 2 is linked to lifestyle factors—does that mean Type 2 can be reversed, or is it permanent once diagnosed? What are the best ways to manage diabetes naturally? Does diet play the biggest role, or are exercise and stress management just as important? Also, are there Ayurvedic remedies or herbal treatments that help control blood sugar levels without medication? If anyone has diabetes, what lifestyle changes helped you the most? Were you able to reduce or eliminate medication through diet and exercise, or did you need long-term treatment?
