Oh wow, fasting sugar at 350mg/dl, that’s, quite high, yes; suggests a likely advanced phase of diabetes. Definitely, need to get our hands around this so you don’t have further complications. But first, know that Ayurveda can complement modern treatments. So please keep in touch with your doctors too!
Now, from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on your diet, lifestyle, and specific herbs can make a significant difference, but it might take a bit of time too. Not a one-pill fix but a consistent effort on multiple fronts. Here’s what’s often recommended;
1. Diet: Aim for whole grains instead of refined ones, think millet and barley; loads of veggies - but not too sweet ones like beets, sugary stuff. Also, proteins like legumes can be your best buddies! Avoid overloading yourself with carbs. And fruits, in moderation - berries work well, maybe a little apple or pear if you need fruit.
2. Herbs: Fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and bitter gourd juice can be helpful. They work slowly, so patience is key. Medicinally too, Ativisha and Kataka are referenced for diabetes in classics. But check with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for dosage.
3. Activity: Regular moderate exercise is non-negotiable; a brisk walk or yoga can boost metabolism, important for balancing doshas and helps in effective sugar metabolism.
4. Time Frame: I’d say give this 3 to 4 months for a noticeable change. Diligent, for real!! Note down what happens on the glucose chart. Also, stress management - it’s vital! Meditation, maybe some breathing exercises.
Remember, integrating these changes gradually with grace and awareness helps stabilize your condition – don’t rush. But hey, always act safely and stay in touch with health professionals for any situation changes. It’s a journey embracing holistic health; let’s say cheers to careful steps forward!
