Doctors’ responses
Your fasting sugar level, PP (postprandial) sugar, and HbA1c suggest that you are in the early stages of glucose imbalance, which may indicate prediabetes. With an HbA1c of 5.8%, it’s important to take steps to manage your blood sugar levels, as this is a risk zone for developing diabetes. While Ayurvedic treatments can be helpful for managing blood sugar levels, they should be complemented with lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Herbs like bitter melon (karela), fenugreek, and turmeric may support insulin function and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Your low vitamin D (9.2) is also a concern, as it can influence insulin sensitivity, so correcting this deficiency with proper supplementation and sun exposure is crucial. It’s advisable to consult with both an Ayurvedic practitioner and your healthcare provider to create a plan that includes dietary adjustments, herbal remedies, and lifestyle changes tailored to your needs, with ongoing monitoring of your blood sugar levels.
It looks like your fasting sugar and PP levels are just a bit above what’s considered normal. Your HbA1c suggests you’re on the border of prediabetes, but it’s not too alarming at this point. Before jumping to diabetic treatment, let’s see if ayurveda can help with a few lifestyle changes and natural remedies first!
Ayurveda always considers digestion and balance between doshas as fundamental. From what you’ve shared, there’s a tiny sign of imbalanced Kapha, which can lead to issues with sugar metablolism.
First up, consider your diet. Focus on foods that manage sugar levels naturally: think of whole grains like barley and quinoa, lots of greens, and bitter veggies like bitter gourd. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods at all costs, they can tip the balance quickly. Eating meals at regular times is also key.
Exercise is another important element. Walking briskly for 30-45 minutes a day improves fitness and helps balance metabolism. Ayurveda often considers exercise crucial for managing Kapha.
Triphala is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy that can support digestion and metabolism. Taking it in powder form with warm water at night can be helpful in balancing sugar levels.
And, that Vitamin D level… it’s way low! Get sunlight exposure at least 20 minutes a day or discuss a supplement with your doctor. It plays a role in glucose metabolism so it could make big difference.
Monitor your sugar levels, make small adjustments. For now, serious diabetic treatments might not be necessary as long as you’re proactive. But stay in touch with your healthcare provider, just to be on the safe side, especially if things don’t improve or get worse.
Remember, Ayurveda is about getting to foundation of imbalance, so these changes aren’t quick fixes but steps through a process to restore your natural harmony. Feel free to drop more queries if anything’s unclear.
