Hello Savinu, It sounds like you're experiencing early signs of diabetes with peripheral neuropathy, which may be linked to imbalances in the Vata dosha, affecting nerve function and circulation. With an HbA1c of 5.8, it's important to manage your blood sugar levels to prevent further complications. Ayurvedic treatments like the use of herbs such as Bitter Gourd, Fenugreek, and Turmeric, along with dietary changes to balance blood sugar, may help. Additionally, improving circulation through regular exercise and stress management can support nerve health. Have you had any other tests, such as blood sugar levels or kidney function tests, or have you noticed any other symptoms like increased thirst, fatigue, or changes in your vision?

Peripheral neuropathy, particularly that slight numbness under your feet, can be a pesky thing, but it's great that you’re catchin’ it early. Especially when you’re right at that prediabetic stage with an HbA1c of 5.8, there's loads you can do with an Ayurvedic approach. So let’s dive into it. From an Ayurvedic view, this numbness could be linked to a Vata imbalance, since Vata controls communication and movement in the nervous system. Your target’s to soothe that Vata dosha. Warming and grounding yourself through both diet and lifestyle is important, you know? Diet-wise, lean towards warm, cooked foods. Say no to raw, cold, and frozen foods. Include ginger, garlic, and turmeric in your meals. They're like little heroes for Vata. Also, think about having a teaspoon of organic sesame oil daily– it’s nourishing and helps balance Vata. Oh and stay hydrated with warm water or herbal tea. Caffeine and stimulants? Maybe give them a backseat for now. Lifestyle adjustments matter too. Incorporate self-massage, or Abhyanga, using warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil on your feet. Ideally before a shower in the morning. It’s just soothing and it deals with the numbness on contact. Daily yoga (something gentle) and Pranayama can help regulate Vata, and stabilize your mind and body. Breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) can work magic. Thirty minutes if possible. But hey, keep tabs on your blood glucose ’cause maintaining stable levels is crucial in staving off neuropathy that can come in with uncontrollable diabetes. And exercise, just good ol’ walking or whatever fits your regime, is essential too. If numbness persists? I recommend consulting an Ayurvedic practioner for personalized guidance or touch base with your GP. Safety first. But these steps can set you on the right path, bringing a lil' more balance and ease to your feet.
