Avoid simple carbohydrates food try millets
Fenugreek seeds flax seeds each 1 teaspoon fry it then powder it store it . 1/2tsf powder with glass of hot water in empty stomach in morning or before 1 hour of breakfast do this for alternate days for
15 days .

Namaste Rajoshi Ji,
Thank you for reaching out. Before providing guidance, I would like to ask a few important questions:
1. Do you experience tingling more in your feet and hands or all over the body?
2. Have you checked your Vitamin B12 and D levels? (Deficiency can contribute to tingling).
3. Are you on insulin or oral medications for diabetes?
4. Do you experience excessive thirst, fatigue, or frequent urination?
5. What is your daily diet and exercise routine like?
Your HbA1c of 11 indicates poor blood sugar control, which could be causing diabetic neuropathy.Ayurveda focuses on balancing Kapha and Vata dosha to improve nerve function, regulate blood sugar, and manage weight.
• Methi (Fenugreek) Seeds – Soak 1/2tsp overnight & chew in the morning – Lowers blood sugar naturally.
• Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water
• Neem & Karela Juice (20 ml each morning on an empty stomach)
Intermittent fasting (14-hour fasting window) can be beneficial, but:
✔ Break your fast with high-fiber, protein-rich foods (Moong dal, paneer, nuts, or seeds).
✔ Avoid high-carb or sugary foods immediately after fasting, as it can cause a sudden sugar spike.
✔ Include more fiber (greens, whole grains, flaxseeds) to improve insulin sensitivity.
✔ Drink warm water with lemon or fenugreek seeds before breaking fast to aid digestion.
• Daily walking for at least 30 minutes – Improves insulin function.
• Practice Pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika) daily to reduce stress and balance sugar levels.
• Soak feet in warm water with rock salt at night to ease tingling and nerve pain.

Hello Mrs Rajoshi,
Your HbA1c of 11% indicates poorly controlled diabetes, and tingling all over suggests diabetic neuropathy due to nerve damage from high sugar levels.
Since when did the tingling start? Do you experience burning sensations, numbness, or weakness in your feet or hands? Intermittent fasting can help with blood sugar control, but long fasting windows may cause blood sugar fluctuations, especially if your diet isn't balanced.
Try Ayurvedic herbs like Vijaysar Churna (1 tsp twice daily with warm water) and Madhunashini Vati (1 tablet twice daily before meals) to support sugar metabolism. Abhyanga (oil massage with Mahanarayan Taila or Dhanwantharam Taila) can help improve circulation and reduce tingling. Avoid processed carbs and excess dairy, and include fenugreek seeds, bitter gourd juice, and cinnamon in your diet. Keep a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) if possible to track sugar variations during fasting. Have you checked for vitamin B12 deficiency, as it can worsen neuropathy?

Hi Rajoshi,
Thank you for sharing your details. It seems your blood sugar is not well controlled, which might be causing the tingling sensation. Can you tell me if you’ve noticed any other symptoms, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, or fatigue? How are your eating habits during your eating window, and do you focus on consuming low glycemic, high-fiber foods? Intermittent fasting can help some people with blood sugar management, but it’s important to also monitor your diet closely and manage stress levels, as these can impact blood sugar.

Ah, dealing with diabetes can be quite a journey, especially with high HbA1c like 11. That means sugar's been a bit high over the past few months, so let’s see how we can navigate it. Tingling you mentioned could be a sign of neuropathy, you know, nerve damage from high sugar levels. It's essential to address that, so consider speaking with a healthcare professional if it gets worse.
Intermittent fasting? Well, it's an interesting approach. For some people, fasting like you do, 14-hour window, can help with insulin sensitivity. But, you gotta be cautious too. It's about balance not just skipping meals. Your fasting mustn’t lead to huge variances in sugar levels. So, pay attentive head to how your body's responding. Make sure your meals are nutritionally dense when you eat.
For diabetes management through Ayurveda, let's think about Kapha dosha, as it might be dominant if there's weight gain. Foods that are light, warm, and cooked would be helpful. Try including things like barley, millets, and green leafy veg, you know, stuff high in fiber. They're gonna help slow sugar absorption. Spices like turmeric or cinnamon can support as well; they’re warming and aid digestion.
Pay attention to your dinacharya too—your daily routine. Gentle exercises or yoga in the morning can boost circulation and manage weight. Meditation or pranayama, breathing exercises, might also help balance your stress levels, which can cause sugar spikes otherwise.
Oh, and don't rush it! Give your body time to adjust to these new habits. Well, sometimes we expect magic, but consistency's key. Anyway, monitor your blood sugars regularly, and please talk to your doctor especially if your symptoms worsen or if you want to make significant changes in managing your health. Better safe than sorry, right?
