Hi, I am 49 years old and my HbA1c is 6.2. I am taking medicine DYNAGLIPT-M once in afternoon as per doctor advice. I am walking approx 30 mins in morning. What is good time to take Ayurvedic medicine like Himalaya's Karela or Meshashringi. I would like to control more in the natural way. My mother had diabetes and she passed away with the complications at age of 65 with kidney failure.
Ans: Namaste!
I am so sorry to hear about your mother and I appreciate the fact that you are already doing as much as you can to keep this disease away. You seem to be in the prediabetes range at the moment. Here four things you can do immediately:
1. Stop all grains like rice and wheat and switch to eating millets like amaranth, ragi, bajra, barley and jowar.
2. Completely stop sweets. No sugar, no jaggery, no honey. Whatever you get from fruits should be only sweet that you consume.
3. Practice simple yogic sukshma kriyas or warm up exercises every single day for at least 25 minutes.
4. Practice silence for at least 10 minutes a day. Sit quietly and just watch your breath. This will help you calm the mind instantly and your health will automatically improve.
As far as medicines are concerned, please consult a good Ayurveda expert.
