Juvenile Diabetic - Role of Homeopathy!

When the sugar concentration in the blood increases suddenly and unreasonably, the resulting condition is known as diabetes. Sugar or glucose is generally used in order to provide much needed energy to our bodies. But when the pancreas dysfunctions, it leads to a problem in the insulin production. As a result, glucose or sugar gets directly absorbed into the blood, instead of getting absorbed by insulin. And this leads to the condition of diabetes.

When we think of diabetes we typically associate it with an adult or elderly person. However, diabetes can affect children as well. Juvenile diabetes is called so because it is usually diagnosed during childhood. It is also known as type 1 diabetes. The pancreas of a person suffering from this condition produces little or no insulin. As a result, the concentration of sugar in the bloodstream cannot be controlled. If left unattended, it can have fatal repercussions. Children with a parent or older sibling who already suffer from this disease have a high risk of suffering from it themselves. Allopathy has no cure for this disease and focuses on only regulating blood sugar levels.

When it comes to management of juvenile diabetes, homeopathy has proved to be quite effective. Unlike allopathy, homeopathy does not address only the symptoms of the disease but is a holistic form of healing that addresses the person physical, mental and emotional health. Homeopathic medication can be given to children and adults and have negligible side effects. This makes them a good choice for treating long-term conditions such as juvenile diabetes. It is important to note that the same homeopathic remedy cannot be used to treat all patients. Since it addresses the individual as a whole, the medication must be customized to suit the patient’s age, overall health, body type, mental state etc. this, homeopathic medication is also known as a constitutional remedy.

Most juvenile diabetics are defendant on insulin to manage their blood sugar levels. Homeopathy cannot replace insulin but can help control complications that may arise from fluctuating blood sugar levels. Some of the complication it can help clear as complications related to vision, kidney troubles, neurological problems, infertility etc. This form of treatment can be started at any age and may even be given alongside any other treatment that the child may be undergoing. If homeopathy is started in the early stages of this disease, it can reduce the amount of insulin required on a daily basis.

One of the key benefits of homeopathic treatment for Juvenile diabetes is that it negates the chances of complications caused by extremely low blood sugar levels. With time, as the blood sugar levels seem to regularize, the homeopathic medication may also be tapered off. The patient should not do this on his or her own without their doctor’s advice. Lastly, it is important to remember that homeopathy cannot be a substitute for insulin.
