HELLO CAROLYN,
Ayurvedic Perception of Type 2 Diabetes (Madhumeha) -Madhumeha is a sub-type of Prameha, generally attributed to Kapha imbalance, frequently with Vata and Pitta disturbances in chronic conditions. -Acute stress, trauma, or emotional disturbance can destabilize Vata and Pitta and influence Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) and blood sugar control.
-Spikes in blood sugar levels (such as your 27 mmol/L) reflect acute derangement, usually linked with emotional shock or severe stress.
1. Diet (Ahara) Ayurveda focuses on diet balancing Kapha, stabilizing Pitta, and soothing Vata, in addition to managing sugar spikes.
Prefer: -Whole grains: barley, millet (Bajra), quinoa, oats -Legumes: moong dal, lentils -Vegetables: bitter gourd (karela), drumstick (moringa), fenugreek leaves, spinach, broccoli -Spices: turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, coriander, cumin, ginger -Fruits: bitter apple, guava, pomegranate, small amounts of berries
Avoid: -Refined carbs, sugar, sweets, white rice -Deep-fried foods, high dairy -Too much cold, raw, or processed foods
Timing: -Eat main meal at midday (when digestive fire is strongest) -Avoid late-night meals -Keep meals small, frequent, and balanced **Special Tip: Soak fenugreek seeds overnight and take 1 tsp in warm water in the morning to help glucose regulation.
2. Lifestyle (Vihara) Daily routine (Dinacharya): -Wake before 6 AM -Gentle exercise: walking, yoga, stretching -Oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or coconut oil to calm Vata -Avoid stress triggers and overwork
Exercise: -Walking 30–45 minutes/day -Yoga: Surya Namaskar, Trikonasana, Paschimottanasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana -Pranayama: Alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana), Bee breath (Bhramari)
3. Stress Management As stress has been a key driver in your situation: -Meditation: 20–30 minutes/day on attentive breathing -Relaxation: Yoga Nidra or guided relaxation at bedtime
Herbs for stress & blood sugar control: -Ashwagandha churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime adaptogen, normalizes cortisol
-Brahmi vati –1 tab twice daily enhances mental serenity
-Shankhapushpi syrup – 1 tsp at bedtime soothing, facilitates mind-body balance
Mindful practices: Journaling or quiet time spent in nature decreases stress spikes that raise sugar.
4. Herbal Supplements -Fenugreek : 5–10g seeds/day soaked in water -Bitter gourd juice : 15ml daily small quantities on empty stomach -Turmeric + black pepper: metabolic and anti-inflammatory support -Guduchi decoction: 25ml in morning immune-modulating and blood sugar support -Cinnamon: 1–2g/day may enhance insulin sensitivity
5. Detox / Panchakarma (Optional, Under Expert Supervision) Panchakarma therapies: -Virechana (therapeutic purgation) to clear out Pitta and Kapha -Basti (medicated enemas) for Vata control -Low-level detox with Triphala churna or herbal teas Only under the observation of a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, particularly at age 70 and with chronic T2DM.
6. Lifestyle Modifications for Acute Peaks -During stress episodes: Right away, gentle walks, slow deep breaths Steer clear of gorging or meal skipping Warm water, herbal teas (cinnamon, coriander, tulsi)
Monitor blood sugar often Long-term plan: Tame reactive spikes by stabilizing mind and Agni, in addition to diet.
Key Notes: Your 27 mmol/L sugar is critically high. Ayurvedic measures are supportive but cannot take the place of immediate medical attention. Please continue all medication for diabetes as prescribed. Collaborate with your doctor or endocrinologist if levels >14 mmol/L repeatedly. Reduction of stress is equally crucial as diet; emotional trauma can elevate sugar immensely.
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Managing type 2 diabetes can indeed feel challenging, especially when stress plays a significant role. In Ayurveda, stress is believed to bring Vata dosha imbalances, which can affect metabolic activities and since your main concern is stres, addressing this should be your priority. First step should be including proper relaxation techniques into your daily routine, such as practicing deep breathing or even meditation for at least 15-20 minutes a day, preferably in morning or before sleep—just find a time that suits you.
Diet counts too and even though you mentioned it’s already very good, there might be some adjustments you can consider: consume warm, cooked foods and include spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper—they enhance digestion and maintain blood sugar balance. Focus on easy-to-digest legumes like mung beans if you need protein sources. Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods as they can disturb the Agni (digestive fire).
Regular exercise, let’s say, brisk walking, for about 30 minutes daily can also reduce stress levels and help balance blood glucose. Do try to maintain a consistent schedule so your body gets used to it.
Ashwagandha, a revered herb in Ayurveda, may be beneficial for managing stress; you can consult with a local ayurvedic practitioner to incorporate this safely.
Remember to monitor levels regularly and keep in touch with your physician to ensure that no medical issue is left unchecked. Most importantly, ensure your sleep quality isn’t neglected; a regular sleep schedule can help lower stress and support overall wellbeing.
Seek immediate medical attention if there’s any significant rise in your blood sugar, taking professional guidance is crucial for health condition management.
