—Because you have diabetes and are feeling weak, losing weight, and losing muscle, we should first check your blood sugar control and some basic tests (thyroid, B12, etc.) before starting any tonic like Shilapravang. These symptoms may be due to uncontrolled diabetes or another treatable condition. Let’s do the tests first and then decide safely. —“Shivapravang can be taken by diabetics It may lower blood sugar, so if you are already on diabetes medicines, it can cause low sugar. ----- firstly do these tests HbA1C Thyroid profile vt.b12 Vt.D ------ after that we will decide the proper diagnosis and treatment

Shilapravang is generally used as a vajikarana and strength-supporting formulation, often containing Shilajit and mineral components. In diabetics, it is sometimes prescribed to improve energy, stamina, and tissue strength — but it should not be started blindly. In a 52-year-old diabetic who has recently developed: Lethargy Muscle loss Irritability Weight reduction the first step is not to immediately add a tonic. These changes can indicate: • Poor blood sugar control • Protein deficiency or malabsorption • Thyroid imbalance • Vitamin B12 deficiency (common in diabetics) • Early neuropathic or metabolic changes If blood sugars are fluctuating, simply adding Shilapravang may not address the root cause and in some cases may even disturb glucose balance depending on formulation. Before starting it, I would recommend: Checking fasting, PP, HbA1c Thyroid profile Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D Reviewing current diabetes medications In Ayurveda, rebuilding muscle mass (mamsa dhatu) and energy requires a stepwise approach — correcting digestion, stabilizing sugar levels, then adding appropriate Rasayana support. Shilapravang may be useful in selected cases, but dosage and suitability depend on constitution, sugar status, and digestive strength. I strongly recommend a structured consultation to assess reports and current condition before starting any strengthening medicine. That way, we can choose the safest and most effective approach to restore energy and muscle health without disturbing diabetes control.

Hi… You can take this but check your sugar levels regularly Because you can’t stop allopathy suddenly so along with this you need to check your glucose level it should be maintained
