Treatment of type II diabetes

In most cases, especially when an individual is diagnosed with prediabetes, healthy lifestyle changes are enough to keep the sugar levels in control. However, if the condition has progressed to type II diabetes, medications like metformin & sulfonylureas & insulin therapy are prescribed, as per the state of the patient’s condition. 

Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes type 2 works differently. It goes to the root cause of the disease and works with you to help your body regulate insulin/ sugar levels on its own with the help of rasayanas, herbs, diet and lifestyle modifications and panchakarma therapies.
