Diagnosis of Diabetes and conditions causing Diabetes

Diabetes A Complex Condition

Diabetes is a condition in which besides the pancreas, adrenal, liver, pituitary and thyroid are also involved. It is a constitutional disease and a systemic derangement where the whole body is involved. If the disease prevails for a long time the patient becomes weak and dies of malnutrition because of the body’s inability to break down food and use it.

Diabetes is a disease due to faulty diet and leads to breakdown of entire nutritional system of the body.

The disease takes years to develop and is more systemic in origin. A diet that has excess of starch, sugar, protein and fat contents in it leads to diabetes.
