What Is Type 1 Diabetes and How Can Ayurveda Support Its Management? - #14990
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and it’s been a life-changing experience. I’ve been working with my doctor to manage my blood sugar levels, but I’m finding it difficult to adjust to the daily insulin injections and strict dietary restrictions. I want to know if there are any natural ways I can support my health alongside the prescribed treatment. Can Ayurveda offer any herbs, dietary changes, or lifestyle practices that can help balance blood sugar levels and support overall well-being in people with type 1 diabetes? I’ve heard that Ayurvedic herbs like Fenugreek and Bitter Melon are often used for managing blood sugar. Are these effective for type 1 diabetes, or are there other herbs that can help maintain healthy glucose levels? I’ve also been reading about how type 1 diabetes can affect energy levels and digestion—are there Ayurvedic treatments to help with fatigue and digestive issues that often accompany this condition? I’m curious about Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for someone with type 1 diabetes. Should I avoid specific foods or focus on incorporating certain nutrients into my meals? I’ve heard that Ayurveda often emphasizes balanced meals and digestion—could this be helpful for someone managing type 1 diabetes? Has anyone here used Ayurveda to manage type 1 diabetes? What herbs, foods, or practices helped you feel better and maintain stable blood sugar levels?
