Treatment & Management 5
Modern treatment includes lifestyle modification, weight reduction, regular exercise, Metformin, Sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and insulin therapy when necessary. Patients should follow physician guidance and regularly monitor blood glucose levels.
Traditional Ayurvedic management may include herbs such as Gudmar (Gymnema Sylvestre), Karela, Jamun, Vijaysar, Turmeric, and Amla. Ayurveda emphasizes dietary discipline, digestion improvement, weight management, and balancing doshas. Treatment should be supervised by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.
Homeopathic practitioners may use remedies such as Syzygium Jambolanum, Uranium Nitricum, Phosphoric Acid, Lycopodium, and Cephalandra Indica depending on the patient’s overall symptom profile. Scientific evidence for effectiveness is limited and patients should not discontinue prescribed medical treatment.
Commonly used acupressure points include SP6, ST36, LV3, CV12 and KI3. Practitioners believe these points may support metabolism, digestion and overall wellness. Acupressure should be considered complementary rather than a replacement for medical treatment.
Yoga practices commonly recommended include Surya Namaskar, Mandukasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Bhujangasana, Kapalbhati, Anulom Vilom, and meditation. Regular practice may help improve fitness, weight control, and stress management.
