HELLO JOGINDER SINGH,
-You became diabetic after your pancreas was operated on. The pancreas produces insulin, which helps move sugar from blood into cells for energy . When it’s not working well (like after surgery), sugar stays in your blood, causing high blood glucose -Blood sugar above 350mg/dl is high enough to damage eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart if it continues. It can also cause weakness, infections, excessive urination and dehydration -Ayurveda calls this condition Madhumeha . It sees it as an imbalance of kapha and vata doshas , plus weakened digestive fire, leading to excess sugar in urine and blood
TREATMENT GOALS -reduce blood sugar safely with medical supervision -strengthen digestion so food is converted properly , not into excess sugar -prevent long term complications nerve, kidney ,eye problem -restore balance in lifestyle, mind and body

hello joginder singh,
I understand your concern. Becoming diabetic after surgery involving the spleen and pancreas is something that can happen, because the pancreas plays a key role in insulin production and digestion. At your young age (28), this can feel overwhelming, but with the right care in food, lifestyle, and medicines, you can keep diabetes under control and also protect your digestion. Let me explain in a simple way.
Why this happened
Your pancreas helps in both digesting food and controlling blood sugar. Surgery may have reduced its capacity, so now sugar control is weaker and digestion is more sensitive.
The good news: Ayurveda and lifestyle changes can support your digestion (agni) and keep sugar balanced.
Stepwise Plan
1. Food & Diet (most important for you now) Eat small frequent meals – don’t overload your stomach.
Best foods: Green gram (moong dal), barley, methi seeds, ridge gourd, snake gourd, bitter gourd (karela), drumstick. Roti made from wheat + barley mix. Fruits: guava, apple, papaya (avoid banana, mango, grapes).
Avoid strictly: White rice, refined flour, sugar, sweets, fried & oily foods. Cold drinks, packaged juices, excess milk.
2. Ayurvedic Medicines (general, but dosage must be fixed after seeing your sugar levels)
Nisha Amalaki churna – ½ tsp twice daily before food with warm water (supports both sugar and digestion). Triphala churna – ½ tsp at night with lukewarm water (cleans gut, prevents heaviness). Gudmar (Meshashringi) tablets – helps in controlling blood sugar. Sutshekhar Ras (if burning or acidity is present).
3. Lifestyle Support
Regular exercise: Brisk walk 30–40 mins daily. Fix sleep timings, avoid late nights. Stress increases sugar – practice daily deep breathing or meditation 10 mins. Always chew food slowly; don’t rush meals.
4. Investigations to monitor
Fasting & Postprandial blood sugar (every month initially). HbA1c (every 3 months). Kidney function tests once in 6 months. Eye check-up once a year (as diabetes can affect eyes).
Please don’t feel discouraged diabetes after pancreas surgery is not your fault, and it can be managed very well at your age. With disciplined diet, daily walking, and supportive Ayurvedic medicines, your digestion will become lighter and sugar will come under control. You can live a completely normal and active life, only with a little more care than before.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
Start with Phaltrikadi kashaya 10ml twice daily after food with water Mamejva ghanvati 1-1-1 before food with water Soak methi seeds 1-2 tsp in a glass of water, morning drink the water and chew the seeds empty stomach before breakfast. Do walking atleast 40mins daily Avoid processed fatty fast street foods Switch to millets instead of wheat.
Can I know recently how was your hba1c levels?? How much is your fbs/ppbs?? N currently what medication you are?? How your lifestyle is? What was the reason for surgery??
1.Tab, Diabecon DS 1 tab twice daily 30 min before meals with water 2.Nisha amalaki churna 1 tsp twice daily with water before meals 3.Pippalyadi asava 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals
Diet & Lifestyle Tips - Eat warm, freshly cooked meals: Avoid cold, raw, and processed foods. - Favor bitter and astringent tastes: Include methi (fenugreek), karela (bitter gourd), and neem. - Avoid sugar, dairy, and wheat: These aggravate Kapha and spike blood sugar. - Stay active: Gentle walking after meals improves glucose metabolism. - Sleep early: Rest is essential for hormonal balance and healing.
- Pranayama: Practice Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati daily for 10 minutes. - Yoga: Poses like Paschimottanasana and Ardha Matsyendrasana stimulate pancreas and digestion.
Madhunashini vati 1-0-1 to be chewed before food Giloyghan vati 1-0-1 after food Hingwastaka churna 1/2-0-1/2 tsp after food with warm water Walking atleast 30 minutes Daily will be good
The information you have provided indicates a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention from a qualified medical professional. Your blood sugar levels are sometimes over 350 mg/dL, which is considered a medical emergency, especially given your history of spleen and pancreas surgery
Given your specific medical history (spleen and pancreas surgery), the advice for managing your diabetes is highly specific The removal of part of your pancreas means your body’s ability to produce insulin and other digestive enzymes is likely impaired. This condition is often referred to as Type 3c diabetes.
Critical Medical Advice Contact Your Doctor Immediately: A blood sugar level consistently over 250 mg/dL, and especially over 350 mg/dL, is a medical emergency. You should not delay in speaking with your doctor or healthcare team. They may need to adjust your medication, including insulin dosage, or provide specific instructions for managing these high levels
Managing blood sugar levels, especially with a recent history of surgery involving the spleen and pancreas, requires a careful blend of medical consultation and lifestyle adjustments. Under Ayurvedic principles, balancing the doshas, particularly Kapha, can be beneficial in controlling blood sugar. Here’s what you can consider:
Dietary Recommendations: Instead of overconsuming heavy foods that increase Kapha, you may incorporate more bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes. These can be found in foods like bitter gourd, fenugreek, and neem. Stick to freshly prepared meals, avoid processed foods, and reduce or eliminate sugary items from your diet. Eat at regular intervals and do not skip meals, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Digestive Health: Since you’ve had digestive issues, enhancing your Agni (digestive fire) is crucial. Consider drinking warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and incorporate spices such as ginger, turmeric, cumin, and coriander to improve digestive function. These can be added to your meals or consumed as herbal teas.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Regular exercise is vital. Activities like brisk walking, yoga, or even light aerobics can be beneficial. Aim for moderate exercise most days of the week to improve insulin sensitivity. Prioritize sleep as well, as a regular sleep schedule supports overall health.
Herbal Support: Chandraprabha Vati and Triphala are traditional Ayurvedic formulations which can help in managing blood glucose, but please consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosage and appropriateness.
Given your recent surgery, it’s essential to monitor your condition closely with regular blood sugar tests and consultations with your healthcare provider. Integrating these practices with conventional medical guidance is very important. Do not discontinue any medications or treatments without professional advice. Ensure you stay hydrated, manage stress through meditation or breathing exercises, as stress can impact your blood glucose levels.
Controlling blood sugar levels requires a comprehensive approach, particularly given your history of spleen and pancreas surgery along with digestive issues. In Siddha-Ayurvedic understanding, managing diabetes involves balancing the vata, pitta, and kapha doshas, supporting the agni (digestive fire), and ensuring proper function of the dhatus (tissues).
First, focusing on diet is crucial. Opt for a diet low in refined sugars and carbohydrates. Favor whole grains like barley, millets, and brown rice as they help in stabilizing blood sugar levels. Bitter melon, known as karela, is traditionally used for its sugar-lowering effects and can be consumed either as a juice on an empty stomach or be included in meals.
Addressing digestion issues is essential too. Consider incorporating herbs like ginger or cumin which can help enhance your digestive fire (agni) without overpowering it. Taking trikatu churna (a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) with lukewarm water before meals might help improve digestion naturally.
For managing stress, which can indirectly affect blood sugar, incorporate breathing exercises like prayanama and meditation into your daily routine. These help in keeping the mind calm and balancing dosha imbalances.
Exercise is also important, aim for mild to moderate activity such as brisk walks or yoga, at least 5 times a week, which can help in metabolizing sugars more efficiently.
Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels is absolutely essential given the current variances you’re experiencing. If your levels frequently exceed 350 mg/dL, it’s critical to work closely with a healthcare providers to ensure all potential complications are managed effectively. Any Ayurvedic intervention should complement, not replace, other treatments prescribed by your doctor.
