Balancing blood sugar levels is crucial for managing diabetes, and it seems like your A1C level indicates a need for continued management. While your current medication regimen includes insulin, metformin, and cholesterol medicine, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider about integrating ayurvedic principles safely alongside your current treatment.
First, diet plays a significant role in managing blood sugar levels. Consider focusing on a sattvic diet, which in Ayurveda is known for balancing the body. Incorporate fresh, whole foods such as whole grains (like quinoa, barley), green leafy vegetables, and legumes. Avoid processed foods, excessive sugars, and refined carbs which can spike blood sugar levels. Instead, include fibrous vegetables and foods like bitter gourd which are known to help regulate glucose levels.
Next, it is beneficial to establish regular meal timings to balance your agni, or digestive fire. Eating at the same time daily can help regulate metabolism and stabilize blood sugar levels. Ensure your meals are well-cooked and warm to aid digestion.
Regarding lifestyle, regular exercise tailored to your liking, such as brisk walking or yoga, can improve insulin sensitivity. Pranayama, like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can also relieve stress and anxiety, potentially impacting blood glucose levels positively.
About green kratom, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider about potential interactions with your medication and its effect on your mental health conditions. Kratom is not traditionally included in Ayurvedic practice and may not be advisable.
Lastly, keep a log of your blood sugar levels, symptoms, and any dietary changes. Share these with your healthcare provider to monitor your progress and receive tailored guidance. Any adjustments to your treatment plan should always be made under professional supervision.
