Spiritual Meaning Of Diabetes

How does diabetes affect you spiritually? Diabetes is a disease in which the body has high blood sugar, either because insulin is not produced enough or because the cells do not respond properly to insulin or both. Diabetes leads a person to have different types of complications, like heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and vision loss. Let’s know more about the spiritual meaning of diabetes and the spiritual meaning of low blood sugar.

It is said that diabetes is God’s way of rewarding the patient for taking good care of himself or herself. Maybe, maybe not. We cannot know what is written in the book of destiny. What we do know is that diabetes can be a lesson in itself. It teaches us to eat wisely and take care of our bodies; then it tests our wisdom—and even challenges us with guilt and remorse when we forget or neglect our bodies and allow them to go into a state of imbalance.

Spiritual Meaning Of Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes is a disease that causes the body to have trouble processing carbohydrates. It can be treated with insulin therapy and diet changes, but it can also be managed holistically.

The spiritual meaning of diabetes is that it is a call to action, a chance to make the changes in your life that will improve your health and ultimately your happiness. When you are diagnosed with this condition, it’s important to take a step back from everything else that’s going on in your life and focus on what matters: your health.

Make sure you’re eating healthy foods and getting enough exercise so that you can live a long and happy life.

Diabetes is a spiritual disease. It is a disease of the soul, and it manifests in the body.

The root cause of diabetes is an imbalance between one’s yin and yang energies—a dysfunction in their flow and movement. Numerous factors, including excessive food consumption, eating too much meat and not enough vegetables, poor digestion, a lack of exercise, stress, or even emotional trauma, can contribute to this.

When the body becomes imbalanced in this way, it cannot properly assimilate nutrients into its cells. The result is that glucose cannot be converted into energy for use by the body, which results in the symptoms associated with diabetes: hunger pangs, fatigue, thirstiness, frequent urination and thirstiness.

However, there are ways to balance out your yin-yang energies and restore your body’s ability to function properly once again! First off, take care of yourself! Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (try carrot juice—it’s good for you!), get plenty of exercise (but don’t overdo it), drink lots of water (try lemon water), avoid processed foods as much as possible (you’ll feel better for it), meditate regularly (it will help with stress relief), practice yoga or tai chi or qi

Spiritual Meaning Of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90% of all diabetes cases, and it commonly develops after the age of 40, which is why it used to be called “adult-onset diabetes.” It is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood.

Type 2 diabetes is much more frequent than type 1 diabetes and is really a totally different disease.

It is one of the fastest-growing public health problems in the increasingly obese western society.

In the United States, over 100 million adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes. An estimated 1.5 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the US per year. In the UK, there are an estimated 12.3 million people at increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

By the year 2020, more than 250 million people will be afflicted worldwide, resulting in a substantial financial burden, with more than $100 billion spent annually in the U.S. alone. Also, diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death in the United States in 2015. 

Diabetes is diagnosed by testing the blood for sugar levels. Blood is tested in the morning after you have fasted overnight.

Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms:

• frequent need to urinate;
• wounds that do not heal;
• being thirsty a lot of the time;
• increased susceptibility to infections, particularly yeast or fungal infections.

Diabetes Mellitus Causes and Risk factors:

When our food is digested, the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream.

Our cells use glucose for growth and energy. But glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present (insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose).

The glucose level in the blood rises after a meal and triggers the pancreas to make the hormone insulin and release it into the bloodstream.

But in individuals with this condition, the body either can’t produce or can’t respond to this hormone properly.

Without it, glucose can’t get into the cells, and so it stays in the bloodstream. Hence, the level of sugar in the blood remains higher than normal.

The cause of insulin resistance

What’s preventing insulin from letting glucose in? It’s fat. Intramyocellular lipids, or the fat inside our muscle cells.

Fat in the bloodstream can build up inside the muscle cell and create toxic fatty breakdown products and free radicals that can block the insulin signaling process.

When that happens, no matter how much hormone insulin we have in our blood, it won’t be able to open the glucose gates. That causes blood sugar levels to build up in the blood.

Increased cellular fat is not just an innocent bystander but rather a principal factor in promoting this metabolic disease.

Abnormal high levels of cellular fat may activate a series of enzymes that in turn alters the molecular structure of key substrates involved in insulin action, affecting the transport and metabolism of glucose.

Spiritual Causes of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The spiritual cause of the disease is emotional isolation and lack of sweetness in life. The bodies of diabetics cannot handle sugar because they cannot connect with life’s sweetness. So the best advice for diabetics is to “stop worrying and get happy.”

Prevention

Nutrition

The first step is to completely avoid animal-derived products. Needless to say, this eliminates all animal proteins and fats.

The second step is to avoid added vegetable oils.

For example, diabetes prevalence is relatively low among individuals following a plant-based diet, and clinical trials using such a diet have shown improvements in glycemic control and cardiovascular health.

Physical Exercise

Exercise is one of the best and most effective ways to keep your blood glucose levels where they should be and lower them if they get too high.

Because of modern living, it is essential to think about being physically active each day.

Practicing more physical activity during your day is one of the most important things you can do to help manage your diabetes and improve your health.

Tip – both resistance and aerobic exercise are important for people living with diabetes.

Sleep

Sleep gives the body time to relax and repair and is now also understood to play a role in learning.

Studies have shown that sleep deprivation and insulin resistance may be connected.

Individuals who regularly lack sleep will feel more tired through the day and more likely to eat fattier foods.

Quit Smoking

Smokers are roughly 50% more likely to develop diabetes than nonsmokers, and heavy smokers have an even higher risk.

Additionally, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus increases with the number of cigarettes smoked a day. 

Alcohol

Alcohol can cause blood glucose levels to rise or fall, depending on how much you drink.

Furthermore, alcohol impairs your liver’s ability to produce glucose and stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your blood sugar control.

Caffeine

Caffeine affects every individual differently.

If you have diabetes or you’re struggling to control your blood sugar levels, limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet may provide a benefit.

Healing Affirmations

• I am completely comfortable with my life.
• My blood sugar is balanced.
• Every cell in my body is healthy and radiates health.
• I always make sure to eat the right foods.
• I breathe deeply and every breath energizes me.
• I am healed, whole, and healthy.

How Does Diabetes Affect You Spiritually

Diabetes is a disease that affects your body’s ability to make and use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps our bodies turn the food we eat into energy. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.

In diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin or does not use it well. Without enough insulin, sugar builds up in the blood instead of going into cells to give them energy. This can lead to serious health problems.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. With type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces little or no insulin at all and people must take insulin injections every day to stay alive. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can’t use its own insulin as well as it should or doesn’t make enough of it, so it needs extra help from medicine and lifestyle changes.

The Bible says that God has given us authority over our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19) because they are His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19). We are called to be stewards of our bodies and use them for His glory (1 Corinthians 6:20).
