fasting blood sugar level - #17583

For the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling off, like I wake up in the morning feeling weak, almost shaky. At first, I thought maybe I was just not getting enough sleep, but then I started noticing that I’m constantly thirsty and have this dry mouth no matter how much water I drink. My energy levels are also all over the place – sometimes I feel fine, but other times I feel drained even after a full night’s sleep. I decided to check my fasting blood sugar level, and it came out higher than normal. I did a couple of tests on different days, and each time, my fasting blood sugar level was slightly above the recommended range. The doctor told me that it’s in the prediabetes stage, meaning it’s not full diabetes yet but could turn into that if I don’t make some changes. He told me to watch my diet and exercise, but honestly, I don’t even eat that much junk food. I do have a habit of eating late at night sometimes, though. Could that be affecting my fasting blood sugar level? I’ve started looking into Ayurveda because I want to manage this naturally before it gets worse. I don’t want to take medicines for the rest of my life. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or remedies that help regulate fasting blood sugar level? I’ve read about things like fenugreek and cinnamon, but I don’t know how effective they actually are. Also, does Ayurveda suggest specific lifestyle changes? I read somewhere that stress and sleep quality can also mess with fasting blood sugar level, and I do have a pretty stressful job. If anyone here has tried Ayurveda for controlling fasting blood sugar level, what worked for you? Are there certain foods I should completely avoid? And how long does it usually take to see results? I don’t want to wait until this turns into diabetes before doing something about it. Any advice would be really helpful.
