Your symptoms suggest uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes with early Diabetic Neuropathy. The current sugar levels (175–255) are high, so correction is necessary. The kada alone will not reverse neuropathy, but proper Ayurvedic + lifestyle management can significantly improve your condition. This condition is mainly “Madhumeha” with Vata aggravation affecting nerves (causing tingling, stiffness). Management Plan 1. Control Blood Sugar Continue your prescribed medicines regularly Methi (fenugreek) soaked overnight – good, continue Your herbal kada is helpful but keep it mild, avoid excess spices 2. Diet (Vegetarian) Prefer: Whole grains (barley, millets) Green vegetables, karela, lauki, neem leaves (in small amount) Protein: moong dal, paneer (limited) Avoid: Sugar, sweets, refined flour, excess rice, potatoes Take dinner light and before 8 PM 3. For Neuropathy (Tingling/Stiffness) Daily warm oil massage (Abhyanga) – very good, continue Use sesame oil or medicated oil (like Mahanarayan oil) Gentle walking + foot exercises Keep feet warm, avoid walking barefoot 4. Frequent Urination Daytime urination 4–5 times is normal if you drink 3–4L water Since night urination is only once → no major concern Avoid excess fluids after evening 5. Ayurvedic Support Gudmar, Jamun seed powder Chandraprabha Vati (for urinary balance) Ashwagandha (for nerve strength)
Remember diabetes is a lifestyle disorder and only medicines cannot do anything. Medicines with major lifestyle changes will only help to keep your sugar levels in control. If you continue this lifestyle for whole life than you can term diabetes reversal. If not change in lifestyle diabetes will increase only.
