Glucagon function – How does Ayurveda support blood sugar regulation? - #16801
Lately, I’ve been trying to learn more about how my body regulates blood sugar because I have a family history of diabetes, and I want to prevent any future issues. I recently came across the term glucagon function and realized that I don’t fully understand how it works. From what I’ve read, glucagon function is the opposite of insulin—it helps raise blood sugar when it’s too low, whereas insulin lowers it. But what I don’t understand is how these two hormones work together, and what happens when they get out of balance. I’ve been feeling a bit off lately—sometimes I feel really weak and dizzy if I go too long without eating, but other times, I feel shaky even after a meal. Could this be a sign that my glucagon function isn’t working properly? Does Ayurveda have a perspective on how blood sugar regulation should work? I know Ayurveda focuses a lot on digestion and metabolism, so I’m wondering if there are Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that help support healthy glucagon function naturally. I’ve heard of herbs like Guduchi, Fenugreek, and Bitter Gourd for blood sugar balance, but do they actually help regulate glucagon and insulin? Also, does Ayurveda recommend specific dietary habits to keep glucagon function and blood sugar levels stable? Should I be eating at certain times of the day or avoiding specific foods that could be making my blood sugar fluctuate? Lastly, is there any connection between glucagon function and dosha imbalances? If anyone has used Ayurveda to support blood sugar regulation and metabolic health, I’d love to hear what worked!
