Diabetic Retinopathy

monishamantra

This disease can cause Blindness, timely treatment is necessary

Diabetes mellitus can lead to many long term health complications like Cardiovascular diseases, Nephropathy, Neuropathy as well as Eye disorders like Retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy occurs mainly due to uncontrolled high blood sugar levels, generally affecting both eyes. It takes many years to reach the final stage of vision loss or blindness.

Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by two main stages:

  1. Non-proliferative retinopathy is initial stage beginning with tiny
    bulges (micro aneurysms) in retinal blood vessels, which result in
    blockage and fluid leakage into retina, leading to noticeable
    eyesight problems.
  2. Proliferative retinopathy is advanced stage with growth of new
    retinal blood vessels. These are so fragile that it can lead to
    hemorrhage and scars also develop on retina. All this results in
    vision problems and finally blindness.

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we apply natural ways of treatment and
prevention for Diabetic Retinopathy in following manner:, without
using Laser, without injection, without Medicine and without any Side-
effect

  • Healthy lifestyle changes with regular exercises, yog-pranayama,

monishamantra

Dangerous. Patient can be victims of Blindness

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Since diabetes is spreading like an epidemic globally we need to learn natural ways to prevent and reverse this deadly disease with its serious complications.

What happens in Diabetic Retinopathy?

Constant high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels throughout the body including retinal blood vessels. Retina is membrane at the back of eye which detects light and sends signals to brain. The sugar blocks these tiny retinal blood vessels causing them to leak or bleed. If not treated it finally leads to vision loss.

Symptoms

  • Blurred vision with gradual vision loss
  • Eye floaters are transparent shapes or spots floating in front of eyes
  • Poor night visibility
  • Impaired color vision

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we treat Diabetic Retinopathy by lowering the Blood sugar levels in the following manner – without using Laser, without Injection, without Medicine and without any Side-effect:

  • Daily yoga-pranayama along with morning and evening brisk walk helps in improving blood sugar levels
  • Diet should include more of vegetables, fruits, millets, nuts, seeds, sprouts
  • Daily Smile meditation for de-stressing, which is the main cause of diabetes
  •  Sujok Therapy:
    1. Acupressure – Find painful tender corresponding eye points on the inner side of thumb with diagnostic probe, pen or pencil Massage gently for a minute, 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)

Sarcopenia (Muscle Loss) in Diabetes

monishamantra

If you are losing muscle in your Diabetes, Then know…..

Research studies have shown that Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is both a cause as well as more prevalent in diabetic patients. Along with other complications of diabetes, loss of muscle mass and strength results in reduced mobility, increased risks of falls and fractures and poor quality of life. 

Relation between Sarcopenia and Diabetes-Type 2

The glucose released in blood after eating is mainly taken up by the skeletal muscle mass. Due to loss of skeletal mass, excess glucose remains in blood and over a period of time it could lead to type-2 diabetes.

An important function of insulin is to take glucose from blood into skeletal muscle tissue and stimulate protein synthesis. In type-2 diabetes insulin is not effective in transporting glucose from blood into skeletal muscle mass which results in sarcopenia.

Natural ways to Treat & Reverse the effects of Sarcopenia

At our Monisha’s Mantra, we assist Diabetes patient with our natural ways of treatment, to slow down and reverse the effects of Sarcopenia in the following manner, without using Medicine, and without any Side-effect:

The severity of Sarcopenia varies greatly according to the health status of individuals. This progressive muscle loss condition begins in our 30’s and it is very important to slow down this condition because it gradually lessens strength and mobility.

Common causes

  • Loss of motor neurons and muscle fibers
