Moringa Powder for Diabetic

Many types of diabetes are recognized they are Type 1 diabetes or Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) or Juvenile Diabetes, Type 2 diabetes or Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) or Maturity onset Diabetes, Gestational diabetes (GDM), Other Specific types of diabetes which includes, Diabetes due to genetic defecets or persons with endocrinopathies or Pancreatic dysfunction caused due to drugs or due to Malnutrition.

Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough, or does not properly respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas where Insulin enables cells to absorb glucose in order to turn it into energy or Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Diabetes is a chronic disease, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to an increased concentration of glucose in the blood. The blood sugar level is controlled by the Insulin. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level when the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level.

Vitamin D is essential for the islet cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin properly. The studies have shown that individuals with the lowest vitamin D levels experienced the worst blood sugar-handling problems and had a greater risk of developing diabetes over time, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage. These types of damage are the result of damage to small vessels, referred to as microvascular disease. Diabetes is also an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases. This is referred to as macrovascular disease. Moringa as a rich source of ascorbic acid helps in insulin secretion. It is interesting to note that certain nutrients like vitamins B1, B2, B12, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, protein and potassium – along with small frequent meals containing some carbohydrate – can actually stimulate production of insulin within the body.

Vitamin A as an antioxidant helps convert beta-carotene efficiently, which reduces the risk of blindness in diabetics. Vitamin B 12 supplementation has been used successfully to treat diabetic neuropathy.  Studies have shown that a low vitamin-E concentration was associated with a 3.9 times greater risk of developing diabetes. Vitamin E reduces oxidative stress, thus improving membrane physical characteristics and related activities in glucose transport. This antioxidant promotes healing of diabetes-related lesions. Magnesium helps in the metabolism of glycogen, Magnesium works closely with vitamin B 6 to help the metabolic process with in the cell. Moringa with these entire nutrient and helps the diabetic patient to control their blood glucose level.
