Ayurvedic Consultation for Type 2 Diabetes Online with Dr. Bali

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which blood glucose levels become too high because the body does not use insulin effectively and, over time, may also not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels.

Common symptoms may include: increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, tiredness, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, slow-healing sores, frequent infections, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet.

Some people discover they have type 2 diabetes during routine blood testing rather than because of obvious symptoms. Diabetes is diagnosed using blood tests such as A1C, fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance testing or random plasma glucose test. An Ayurvedic consultation does not replace diabetes testing, diagnosis or appropriate medical management.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, classical Ayurvedic concepts related to metabolic and urinary health: including Madhumeha: may form part of an Ayurvedic assessment where relevant.

Common symptoms: increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, tiredness, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, slow-healing cuts or sores, frequent infections, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet.

Very high or very low blood glucose, confusion, loss of consciousness, severe dehydration, difficulty breathing, chest pain or other serious symptoms require urgent medical attention.
