How Does an Ayurvedic Diet for Diabetes Help in Managing Blood Sugar Levels? - #13451

Anonymously

I’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes and want to try an Ayurvedic diet to help manage my blood sugar levels. I’ve read that Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for diabetes focus on eating foods that are light, non-inflammatory, and promote healthy digestion. I’m curious about which foods should be included and which ones to avoid in an Ayurvedic diabetes diet. I’ve also heard that an Ayurvedic diet for diabetes emphasizes the importance of eating seasonal vegetables, whole grains, and spices like cinnamon and turmeric, which are known for their blood sugar-regulating properties. I want to know if this diet is effective for long-term blood sugar control and overall well-being. If anyone has followed an Ayurvedic diet for diabetes, please share your experience. Did it help in controlling blood sugar levels, improving digestion, or enhancing energy levels? How long did it take to see results, and were there any foods that particularly helped with diabetes management?
