monishamantra

Be careful, do not ignore Shoulder Pain, there may be a problem of Diabetes

Adhesive capsulitis commonly known as frozen shoulder is one of the lesser known diabetes complications. Frozen shoulder is not only painful but also leads to disability in daily activities.

What is frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder occurs when connective tissues around the shoulder joint are inflamed. This results in pain and stiffness which majorly restricts the shoulder joint movement.

It is progressive condition of 3 stages:

  1. Freezing – pain and gradual loss of shoulder movement
  2. Frozen – pain decreases but stiffness increases
  3. Thawing – recovery stage which lasts between 6 months to many
    years

Relation between frozen shoulder and diabetes

Diabetics are at an increased risk of developing frozen shoulder because poorly controlled sugar levels effects collagen in shoulder joint, the main protein of connective tissue which holds shoulder joint bones together. Sugar molecules attach to collagen making it sticky resulting in stiffness of shoulder joint.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we have Treated and helped individuals to solve their frozen shoulder problem without Medicine, without Syrgery and without any Side-effect; in following manner:

  • Healthy eating is most important where we have to avoid gluten, refined sugar and fermented foods and focus on alkaline foods

    inflammation and pain)

    1. Gently twist second toe of corresponding side, clockwise and
      anti-clockwise for a minute, 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. Apply fenugreek plaster (methi) on the corresponding toe
      daily at night (as shown in Pic 2)

Thyroid is more dangerous for Diabetics patient

Research studies have found that Thyroid disorders and Diabetes tend to co-exist in many individuals. Growing evidence suggests a link between these two conditions, which are an endocrine dysfunction. Diabetes increases risk of thyroid disease and thyroid disease increases risk of diabetes.

Relationship between Thyroid disorder and Diabetes

Thyroid gland plays major role in glucose metabolism and pancreatic function and so thyroid disorder can affect the blood sugar levels
increasing risk of diabetes and creating difficulty in managing sugar levels in diabetic patients.

High levels of circulating insulin related to insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels affect functioning of thyroid gland.

Diabetes in the following manner, without any Medicine and without any Side-effect:
