Hello Tariq, It sounds like you're dealing with several challenges related to diabetes, including fatigue, dry mouth, and burning feet. In Ayurveda, these symptoms are often linked to imbalances in the Pitta and Vata doshas, affecting the digestive and nervous systems. To help manage your diabetes more effectively, Ayurveda focuses on strengthening the digestive fire (Agni) and balancing blood sugar levels. Herbs like Guduchi, Bitter Gourd, and Fenugreek can help regulate glucose levels, while Ashwagandha can support energy and stress management. Along with a proper diet that emphasizes whole, natural foods and limits refined sugars, incorporating gentle exercises such as walking or yoga can also support overall well-being. Have you had any recent tests to assess kidney function, as long-term diabetes can affect kidney health? How is your diet, stress, and sleep quality, as these factors can play a significant role in managing blood sugar levels?

Hello Mr Tariq,
Your uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c 8.5%) and symptoms like tiredness, dry mouth, and burning feet indicate poor blood sugar management and possible diabetic neuropathy. Ayurveda views diabetes as Madhumeha, caused by a Kapha imbalance with weak digestion and metabolic dysfunction. Along with your current medications, Ayurvedic management can support better sugar control and reduce complications.
Diet
Eat light, warm, and freshly prepared meals.
Prefer whole grains like millets (ragi, jowar, bajra) over refined grains.
Include bitter vegetables like karela (bitter gourd) and methi (fenugreek).
Avoid sugar, excess salt, fried foods, and processed snacks.
Drink warm water with a pinch of turmeric or cinnamon for better insulin sensitivity.
Lifestyle
Walk for 30-45 minutes daily and practice yoga, especially asanas like Pavanamuktasana and Ardha Matsyendrasana.
Practice Pranayama like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari to reduce stress and improve circulation.
Ensure 7-8 hours of sound sleep.
Medication-
Tab Guluchyadi Kashayam 1-1-1 after food.
Tab Varanadi Kashayam 1-0-1 before food .
Syp Yesaka 10 ml twice before an hour of eating with 10 ml water.
Monitor glucose levels and check HBA1c in 45 days.
Additional Tips
For burning feet, apply ksheerbala oil or ghee to soothe nerves.
Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine.
Regularly monitor blood sugar levels and follow up with your doctor.
A personalized Ayurvedic treatment plan after detailed analysis. can further help in reducing your symptoms and improving overall well-being.

Firstly, control of diabetes fundamentally involves balancing your doshas, primarily Kapha and Vata, which can often be out of alignment in diabetes. The manifestations you're experiencing – like tiredness, dry mouth, and burning feet – require a multifaceted Ayurvedic approach. It's essential to keep in regular contact with your primary physician since managing diabetes in parallel with Ayurvedic approaches can be quite complex.
Considering this, your digestion or Agni (digestive fire) needs support. Start your day with warm water and add lemon or ginger to improve Agni and support digestion. Avoid cold foods and drinks, as they dampen the digestive fire.
For diet, stick to whole grains like barley and ragi, as they pacify Kapha without aggravating Vata. Include bitter and astringent foods - they help balance blood sugar levels. Green vegetables such as bitter gourd (karela) could be incorporated, cook them well. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods.
Ashwagandha and Triphala are beneficial herbs that you may consider to support general vitality and cleanse the system, but consult your physician before adding new supplements.
Daily routines, or Dinacharya, are vital. Begin with light exercise like walking early in the morning; this helps control Kapha and promotes circadian rhythm, naturally balancing tiredness. Yoga and Pranayama, particularly Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom, help balance bodily energies.
As for specific symptoms, dry mouth can be alleviated by sipping water mixed with fennel or sesame seeds. For burning feet, applying coconut oil or ghee to the soles before bed can bring relief.
Remember, while Ayurveda provides supportive management, do not abruptly stop your current medications or delay any urgent medical treatments. Monitoring blood glucose levels regularly and consistent follow-up with your healthcare provider is crucial.
