Diabetes management: Ayurveda secrets to prevent blood sugar spikes

Diabetes is no longer the disease of the middle-aged and elderly as it is increasingly becoming common in youth as well as children. While the disease does pose a risk of affecting various body functions including cardiovascular health and kidney health, there are ways to manage your blood sugar levels well from medication to natural remedies.

Ayurveda has many such gems that can help control blood sugar spikes. The ancient medicinal practice focusses on a preventive approach and diet plays a major role in it. High-fibre fruits and vegetables, spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom, small meals throughout the day, and herbs like fenugreek, cinnamon, and ginseng among others are recommended for optimal blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.
