Hi Avery, Managing diabetes is tough when stress is also the factor it becomes more challenging

in ayurveda, diabetes is a result of KAPHA and VATA imbalance, leading to metabolic dysfunction so treatment focus is on 1) Enhancing digestion and metabolism 2) removing toxins out of the body 3) Supporting pancreatic function and insulin sensitivity

Diet Must Follow- instead of extreme restrictions, we will try to follow satvik habits

Morning- empty stomach 1 tsp fenugreek seeds soaked overnight have with lukewarm water+ pinch of turmeric + 1/2 tsp Gooseberry (amla) powder

Meals (2-3 regular meals/day) have milletes- ragi, bajra, jowar , barley fenugreek leaves add green leafy veggies - specially bitter gourd, bottle guard, ash gourd Avoid white Sugar, dairy products, bakery items, refined wheat flour ( maida) , fried food, packaged food, refrigerated food items strictly avoid

In Snacks you can take roasted chickpeas, Have buttermilk with roasted cumin powder and rock salt, or herbal teas

DAILY ROUTINE TO REDUCE STRESS + IMPROVE CONTROL MORNING RITUAL- Wake up early by 6 daily body massage with sesame oil warm before bathing daily compulsory 15-30 MIN Walk in sunlight morning Breakfast by 8

NIGHT RITUAL- dinner before 8 pm Foot massage with ghee or coconut oil avoid screen time before bed can take aswagandha + Brahmi - tea for calm

EXERCISE ROUTINE- walking after meals(10-15min ) - or more- best to reduce sugar spike in blood YOGA- suryanamsakar- 10cycles, Bhujangasana, trikonasana, paschimottasana, vajrasana

Pranayam- anulom vilom , bhramari , sheetali daily- 5 min

Now how to take medication :-

MORNING (EMPTY STOMACH)- take AMLA(gooseberry) juice- 15ml +1/2tsp turmeric + water take MADHUMEHA VATI (BAIDYANTH BRAND)- 2 tab

AFTER BREAKFAST- CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 2 TABLET ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULE (HIMALAYA BRAND)- 1 CAPSULE

BEFORE LUNCH- KARELA JAMUN JUICE( BAIDYANATH)- 15 ML+100 ML WATER

AFTER DINNER- triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water And again MADHUMEHARI VATI- 1 TAB( IF SUGAR IS MORE)

AT BEDTIME- IF MORE STRESS THAN TAKE BRAHMI VATI- 1 TAB

DURATION OF THIS TREATMENT- 3 MONTHS check blood sugar every 15 days

Follow this routine daily for 3 months and can see visible results

thank you

When managing diabetes through Ayurveda, consider starting with a focus on your prakriti, or individual constitution, and dosha imbalances. For many people with diabetes, there’s typically an imbalance in the Kapha dosha. The aim is to enhance your digestive fire, or agni, which plays a critical role in processing sugars effectively.

Regarding herbs, it sounds like you’re already familiar with bitter melon (Momordica charantia), which can indeed be beneficial. Its juice can be consumed first thing in th morning on an empty stomach, around 15-30 ml recommended. However, ensure to consult your healthcare provider to avoid interactions with your current medications.

Dietary adjustments are essential. Aim for meals that are light, warm, and balancing for Kapha dosa. Avoid sugary, fatty, and processed foods. Favor whole grains like barley and millet, and include plenty of greens and bitter vegetables, like kale and spinach.

Include routine, as it helps ground the Kapha dosha and provides stability in blood sugar levels. Consider adding meditation, or pranayama to your daily activities to address stress, specifically focusing on practices like ‘Nadi Shodhana’ which balance your breath and calm your mind.

Exercise, certainly helps improve insulin sensitivity. Activities like brisk walking, gentle yoga, or even cycling can be particularly beneficial. Surya Namaskar (sun salutation), within yoga, can be very effective as it activates your body’s energy system.

It’s equally crutial to maintain a daily schedule, aligning with your body’s natural rhythms. Eat meals at consistent times and aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep which supports balancing stress levels and metabolic health.

Lastly, keep your doctor’s advice in mind and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how your body responds to these changes.
