Overview
What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a long-term condition where the body cannot use glucose properly. Blood sugar stays high. Sugar then passes into the urine, so you urinate more and feel thirsty.
Left uncontrolled, it can damage the eyes, heart, kidneys and feet. Regular checks and steady care matter.
The Ayurvedic view
Ayurveda does not look only at sugar numbers. It aims to strengthen the whole body and help prevent complications through lifestyle change, diet and herbs, alongside your doctor's treatment.

Home remedies
From the family kitchen
Karela (bitter gourd)
Take 2 teaspoons of karela juice once a day, or eat more karela as a cooked vegetable.
Methi (fenugreek) powder
Take 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seed powder with water twice a day.
These can lower blood sugar further with your medicines, so check your sugar regularly, tell your doctor, and never stop or change prescribed medicine on your own.
