Type 1 Diabetes is the condition in which the child’s body fails to produce the hormone insulin. The condition is also known as Juvenile Diabetes or Insulin-Dependent Diabetes. The unavailable insulin will have to be replaced with an insulin pump or with injections. In Ayurveda reasons, symptoms, complications and treatment of diabetic conditions are explained under Prameha.

Causes of Type 1 Diabetes in Children

Ayurveda describes the reasons for occurrence of Diabetes as improper diet, intake of excess amounts of heavy, fatty, sweet food, sedentary life style, improper sleep etc.
