ABSTRACT
In modern era diabetes is a growing problem. Prevalence rate of diabetes increased since few years. There are some responsible causes for diabetes like physiological, chemical, pathological, toxicological, pathophysiological i.e failure of beta cell functioning and insulin resistance. There are also environmental pollutants such as arsenic, lead, mercury, organophosphorus compound responsible for diabetes. In the absence of increased caloric intake; exposure to environmental toxins leading to weight gain and insulin resistance.[1] The science related to combination of food is called as topography. Incompatible diet leads to many metabolic disorders like, diabetes, obesity, cancer, etc. In Prameha Vyadhi (Diabetes) frequently taken of Viruddha Ahara (incompatible diet) leads to Kleda Vriddhi (increased moisture) and it plays predominant role in Prameha Samprapti (pathology of diabetes), it creates Agnimandya (indigestion), Ama (biotoxin) and number of metabolic disorders. Diabetes also one of the metabolic disorder. Madya Vishaktata (alcohol toxicity) is also described in Ayurvedic Samhita. It is one of the main risk factor of diabetes. Alcoholism can cause diabetes by decreasing insulin sensitivity, increasing body weight and leading to obesity which is primary cause of Type-2 diabetes. In present article, I am going to high lighten the relation between toxicological substance and diabetes.
Keywords: Diabetes, Toxins, Incompatible diet, insulin resistance.
