is diabetes curable through ayurveda? feeling overwhelmed with daily meds - #1725

Anonymous

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three years ago, and it’s been a constant struggle to manage my sugar levels. I’m on Metformin, but the side effects are starting to get to me—digestive issues, fatigue, and sometimes I still get these sudden spikes in my blood sugar even when I’m careful with my diet. I’ve heard mixed opinions about whether diabetes is actually curable or just manageable, especially through alternative methods like Ayurveda. Is there anyone who has successfully reversed diabetes or significantly reduced their medication through Ayurvedic treatments? I’m curious about whether Ayurveda offers a real chance at curing diabetes, or if it’s more about long-term management. What kind of lifestyle changes or herbs are typically recommended? And how realistic is it to achieve normal blood sugar without relying on meds forever?

In Ayurveda, Type 2 diabetes is seen as a metabolic imbalance, primarily affecting the **Kapha** dosha, which governs the body's structure and fluid balance. While Ayurveda doesn't promise an outright cure for diabetes, it offers a comprehensive approach to **management and reversal** through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies that support the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Many people have successfully reduced their reliance on medications, including Metformin, by making changes such as adopting a **low-GI (glycemic index)** diet, incorporating **bitter foods** like **bitter melon**, **gurmar**, and **fenugreek**, and using herbs like **turmeric**, **cinnamon**, and **ashwagandha** to help balance blood sugar. **Triphala** and **guggulu** are also commonly recommended for detoxification and improving insulin sensitivity. Additionally, Ayurveda emphasizes **regular physical activity**, stress reduction techniques like **yoga and meditation**, and sufficient sleep, as these factors play a significant role in managing blood sugar. While it's not always realistic to stop medications entirely without medical guidance, many individuals are able to achieve better blood sugar control over time, reducing their medication dosage with the approval of their healthcare provider. It's important to approach this holistically and in consultation with both your doctor and an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure safe and effective integration of these treatments.
