Ayurveda offers many possibilities for supporting those with diabetes by focusing on a holistic approach that goes beyond medications alone. Your husband’s HbA1c of 6.5 and fasting blood sugar of 115 are indicative of controlled sugar levels, which is a good sign. Switching from allopathic to ayurvedic medicines should be pursued with careful consideration, especially while monitoring sugars closely. It’s essential to do this under the guidance of both an Ayurvedic practitioner and his current healthcare provider to ensure a safe transition.

Diet plays a significant role in managing diabetes through Ayurveda. Encourage your husband to prefer whole grains like barley and millet, as they can help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. Including green leafy vegetables — such as spinach and fenugreek leaves — is beneficial, as they are light and help regulate Kapha dosha, often aggravated in diabetes.

Herbs like guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) can be quite effective; they have hypoglycemic properties. A decoction of these herbs can be prepared by boiling them in water and consumed daily in the morning. Ensure it is taken on an empty stomach for better absorption.

Stress management is also critical. Practicing yoga and pranayama daily can be part of his routine. Simple breathing exercises and Asanas like Vrikshasana (tree pose) can help improve the overall metabolic rate and calm the mind, providing significant benefits for someone with diabetes.

Keep in mind that lifestyle changes are as important as medication. Encourage regular physical activity suited to his capacity; a brisk walk for thirty minutes a day can make a huge difference in managing weight, which often assists in blood sugar control.

Monitoring his blood sugar levels frequently is essential. While transitioning, continue his prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise by a healthcare professional. Ayurvedic treatments often complement rather than replace modern medications, especially in chronic conditions like diabetes. Making small, sustainable changes can help in the long term. Safe, incremental adjustments, with professional oversight, are key to ensuring balanced and effective diabetes management.
