Frozen Shoulder in Diabetics

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)

      anti-clockwise for a minute, 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. Apply fenugreek plaster (methi) on the corresponding toe

Thyroid disorders – Diabetes

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.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we have been successfully Treating and helping many individuals, to reverse both Thyroid disorder and
Diabetes in the following manner, without any Medicine and without any Side-effect:

Diabetes related-Skin Disorders

Diabetes - Signs / Symptoms are visible on the SKIN

How many of us are aware that skin problems are one of the common complications of diabetes? According to research studies 1 in 3 diabetic patients will develop skin disorder at some point. Diabetes and skin problems can be very challenging but there are simple natural ways to manage without medicine!

How diabetes causes Dry Skin

High blood sugar levels make the body produce more urine to remove sugar by extracting water from cells, thus dehydrating the skin. This results in dry skin which can over a period of time crack, peel or become itchy and further lead to infections and skin disorders. Also
neuropathy and poor blood circulation combine to increase risk of skin disorders.

Types of Diabetes-related-Skin disorders

  • Pruritus (itchy skin)
  • Xerosis (dry skin)
  • Fungal and bacterial infections
  • Acanthosis nigricans (thickened dark skin)

  • Vitiligo (discolored skin)

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we help Diabetic patients to treat their skin disorders problem, without Medicine and without any Side-effect,in the following manner:

Obesity

Obesity increases the risk possibility of type 2 Diabetes by six times

According to WHO obesity is today the leading global health serious problem. Obesity is the major cause of type 2 diabetes which increases the risk of serious life-threatening health issues like heart disease, kidney failure and nerve damage. By 2025 the prevalence of obesity-related type 2 diabetes is expected to reach 300 million!

What is obesity?

Obesity is a chronic metabolic condition in which there is excess fat (adipose tissue) accumulation in the body. It is defined as the Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeding 30 kg/m2.

Causes of obesity

  • Insufficient physical activity
  • Unhealthy eating habits
  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep
  • Genetic

Relation between Obesity and Diabetes

Insulin transports glucose to muscle cells and liver for release of energy. Obesity increases fatty acids and inflammation which makes cells resistant to insulin, resulting in excess glucose in blood which gradually leads to type 2 diabetes.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra` we help individuals to Treat & Reverse their obesity-related diabetes in the following natural manner:-

  • Healthy weight-loss plan – include millets, nuts, seeds, whole grains, beans, brown rice, fruits, salads, soups

Diabetic Kidney disease (Nephropathy)

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure and 1 in 3 diabetic patients have kidney disease!

Diabetes and Kidney disease
