How Effective Is an Ayurveda Diet for Diabetes? Can It Help in Blood Sugar Control Naturally? - #13281
I have been managing diabetes for a while and want to explore an Ayurveda diet for diabetes to help regulate my blood sugar levels naturally. Ayurveda suggests that diabetes (Madhumeha) occurs due to an imbalance in digestion (Agni) and excess Kapha accumulation, which affects metabolism and sugar regulation. Unlike modern diabetic diets that focus only on calorie control, Ayurveda emphasizes dosha-based nutrition and herbal food combinations that help in improving insulin function and reducing sugar cravings. Some of the key Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for diabetes include eating bitter foods like Karela (bitter gourd) and Neem to lower glucose levels, consuming fiber-rich grains like barley and millets, avoiding excessive dairy and processed foods, and incorporating herbal drinks like Methi (fenugreek) water and Jamun seed powder. However, I want to understand how effective an Ayurveda diet for diabetes is in stabilizing fasting sugar levels, preventing sudden spikes, and improving overall energy. If anyone has followed an Ayurvedic diet for diabetes, please share your experience. Did it help in controlling blood sugar, improving digestion, or boosting energy? Also, were there any specific food combinations or Ayurvedic remedies that worked best for you?
