Manage your Sugar
“Sugar,” commonly used as a layman term, refers to Diabetes Mellitus, a metabolic disorder where the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not use insulin effectively. Insulin is the hormone responsible for moving sugar (glucose) from the blood into cells. When this process stops working the way it should, the glucose level in the blood rises abnormally.
High blood sugar affects almost every part of the body—nerves, eyes, kidneys, heart, digestion, skin, and immunity. It is not just a disease; it is a lifestyle imbalance that develops over time due to poor eating habits, stress, unhealthy routines, genetic tendency, and lack of physical activity. Diabetes is increasing rapidly in India due to sedentary lifestyles, processed foods, and irregular sleeping patterns. The problem becomes serious when people ignore early symptoms, self-medicate, or rely only on temporary relief without addressing the root cause.
Understanding diabetes from the basics—what, why, when, how, who, and where—helps people take the right steps early and prevent long-term complications.
Diabetes shows signs that are often subtle at first but become clearer over time.

Ayurvedic View
Ayurvedic Classification
- Kapha Type: Weight gain, lethargy, heaviness, sluggish digestion
- Pitta Type: Excess hunger, thirst, irritability
- Vata Type: Weight loss, dryness, weakness, frequent urination
Root Causes
The main issues responsible for diabetes are:
1. Weak Digestion (Mandagni)
Poor digestion leads to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), causing blockages in metabolic channels.
2. Kapha Dominance
Excessive sweet, heavy foods and sedentary habits increase Kapha, contributing to insulin imbalance.
3. Vata Imbalance in Later Stages
Excess urination, dryness, weight loss, and fatigue show Vata involvement.
4. Impaired Ojas
Ojas, the essence of immunity and vitality, gets affected, causing weakness and slow healing.
Ayurvedic Approach
- Strengthening Agni (digestive fire)
- Clearing Ama (toxins)
- Rejuvenating pancreas and metabolic tissues
- Correcting diet, sleep, and lifestyle
- Improving insulin sensitivity
- Balancing all three doshas
- Boosting overall immunity and vitality
Diabetes management is 70% lifestyle, 20% diet, and 10% medicines. Correcting daily habits ensures long-term stability.

Lifestyle Changes
1. Eat on Time
Irregular meals disturb insulin production.
2. Walk 15–20 minutes after every meal
This directly lowers blood sugar.
3. Do not skip breakfast
It causes sugar spikes throughout the day.
4. Avoid daytime sleeping
It increases Kapha and worsens Sugar.
5. Sleep early and wake early
Improves hormonal balance.
6. Reduce stress
Chronic stress increases cortisol, which spikes blood sugar.
7. Keep weight under control
Excess weight, especially belly fat, increases insulin resistance.
