The accumulation of toxins in eyes, nerves, cardiovascular system, feet and other tissues can cause many of the most debilitating effects of diabetes. Ayurvedic theory also describes how mistakes of a high carbohydrate diet are more likely to create diabetes when nervous system imbalance and stress also become a factor in the individual. According to Ayur-Veda mental stress and strong emotional disturbance when added to a system overloaded with a carbohydrate heavy diet often pushes the physiology into the diabetic condition. Disruption of biological rhythms disrupts the body's metabolic processes and can inhibit proper carbohydrate metabolism. Lack of proper exercise and poor circulation can worsen many diabetic symptoms.
People can have the same disease for different reasons.
For example, ten people could walk into a doctor's office with a headache and have it for ten different reasons. Likewise not everyone has diabetes for the same reasons. Ayurvedic diagnosis determines the imbalances in the divisions of the body's inner intelligence. These underlying imbalances are the root causes of a condition and must be removed if real healing is to occur. By determining the causal imbalances at the basis of a disease Ayurvedic diagnosis helps physicians address the fundamental source of ill health in the individual.
