HELLO,

In type 2 diabetes, your body still makes insulin, but your cells stop responding properly to it. This is called insulin resistance. Because of that, sugar from your food stays in your blood instead of going into your cells for energy.

Gradually, your pancreas gets tired ad produces less insulin, causing your blood sugar to rise even more.

In Ayurveda,diabetes is seen as “Madhumeha”, one of the 20 types of prameha- disorders related to metabolism and urinary system.

It occurs mainly due to -Kapha imbalance too much heaviness, sluggishness, mucus formation -Medo Dhatus dushti fat tissue dysfunction -agni mandya=weak digestive fire -ama formation- toxic waste due to improper digestion -vata aggravatio in advanced stages causing excessive urination ad weakness

TREATMENT GOALS -balance kapha and meda- to remove the root cause -kindle agni (digestive fire)- to improve digestion and metabolism -remove ama (toxins)- to clear channels and restore insulin sensitivity -rejuvenate tissue especially pancreas, liver -support mental and emotional health- because stress raises blood sugar - avoid complications

INVESTIGATIONS TO RULE OUT -Fasting blood sugar weekly -Postprandial 2 hrs after meals weekly -HbA1c every 3 months -Lipid profile -LFT, KFT -Urine routine and microalbumin -Eye and food check

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) NISHA AMALAKI CHURNA TABLET= 500mg twice daily after meals =improves insulin sensitivty, antioxidant, reduce inflammation

2) GUDMAR CAPSULES= 500mg once daily in morning =reduces sugar absorption, regenerate beta cells

3) VIJAYSAR= soak 1 piece in water overnight, drink that water in morning =natural hypoglycaemic, detoxifies blood

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =balances kapha, improves urianry function

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =detox, improves digestion, and liver function

6) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily =improves liver function and metabolism

duration= 3 months

DIET PLAN GRAINS= barley, millets, bajra, jowar, ragi, red rice in moderation PULSES= green gram, masoor dal, horse gram VEGETABLES= bitter gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, drumstick, methi leaves, spinach, cabbage, cucumber FRUITS= amla, guava, papaya, pomegranate SPICES= turmeric, fenugreek, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, mustard HEALTHY FATS= small amounts of cow ghee or sesame oil DRINKS= warm water, methi water, turmeric tea, guduchi decoction

AVOID STRICTLY -sugar, sweets, jaggery, honey -white rice, refined flour, maida, bread, bakery foods -fried or oily foods, cheese, butter, red meat -cold drinks, alcohol, and smoking -curd at night, or heavy dairy products

YOGA ASANAS -suryanamaskar= improves metabolism, burns fat -ardha matsyendrasana= massages pancreas -dhanurasana= strengthens pancreas -pawanmuktasana = helps digestion - vajrasana= sit in this pose for 10 mins after meals

PRANAYAM -Kapalbhati= 3 rounds of 30 strokes. stimulates pancreas -anulom vilom= 5-10 min for balance and calm -bhastrika= 1-2 min to activate metabolism - bhramari= 5 rounds for stress reduction

HOME REMEDIES -Methi seed water= soak 1 tsp overnight, drink in morning -amla juice + turmeric= 20 ml + pinch of turmeric on empty stomach -bitter gourd juice= 30 ml fresh juice in morning 3-4 times/week - cinnamon powder= 1/2 tsp in warm water daily

LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES -wake up early before sunrise -walk 30-40 min daily -do not sleep in daytime -eat at regular times, avoid overeating -maintain emotional balance- avoid stress and anger -go to bed early before 10 pm for hormone balance -stay socially active and positive- emotional well being is vital

DURATION OF TREATMENT -INITIAL STABILIZATION= 1-2 month blood sugar reduction -METABOLIC CORRECTION= 3-6 months weight, digestion, energy improve -MAINTENANCE/ REJUVENATION= 6-12 months

DIABETES REVERSAL DEPENDS ON -duration of disease (earlier=easier) -weight and lifestyle -consistency in following regimen

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Managing and attempting to reverse type 2 diabetes with Ayurveda involves focusing on balancing your doshas, particularly kapha and vata. Typically, type 2 diabetes is considered a kapha disorder due to its association with excessive earth and water elements, resulting in increased weight or lethargy. However, vata imbalance can also play a role in erratic blood sugar levels.

Begin by establishing a consistent daily routine, which is crucial. Wake up early in the morning before sunrise to attune with the natural cycles; this helps regulate hormonal rhythms and support detoxification. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to kickstart metabolism and cleanse the system.

Diet is vital, incorporate more bitter, astringent, and pungent flavors. These can be from green leafy vegetables like spinach, methi (fenugreek leaves), and karela (bitter gourd). Limits intake of sweets, processed foods, and excessive grains as they aggravatee kapha. Exchange refined sugars with natural sweeteners such as raw honey or stevia, in moderation, only when necessary.

Include herbs such as Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Amla (Emblica officinalis) known for their ability to stabilize sugar metabolism. Guduchi can be consumed as a decoction, or powder (1 tsp with warm water) twice daily. Amla can be taken in fresh juice form or dry powder (1 tsp daily). Also, turmeric with its anti-inflammatory properties helps; mix half a teaspoon with a pinch of black pepper in your meals.

For lifestyle, ensure regularity in meals and incorporate moderate exercises like brisk walking or yoga, especially Suryanamaskar and Trikonasana for at least 30 minutes daily. Stress management through meditation or pranayama also contributes significantly to stabilizing glucose levels.

It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure these recommendations complement your current medical treatments and provide an integrated approach to managing diabetes effectively. Ayuruveda is a complementary medicine, not a replacement for conventional treatments when needed.
