Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes

Adjusting the diet: the initial step in the Ayurvedic treatment of diabetes is to change the diet, which incorporates less sugar and basic starches, and emphasizes complex starches. Protein in takes should be decreased, as higher intake can damage the kidneys. Fat intake should also be restricted, as fat assimilation can be problematic in these patients due to the inadequacy of other pancreatic catalysts. Eat lots of new vegetables, oranges, lemons, strong leafy foods
