If you have Type 2 Diabetes, blood sugar spikes, cravings and energy crashes...
Fix these things first 👇
1️⃣ Mindful eating
Meals: Follow the 3-2-1 Method
3 parts non-starchy vegetables
2 parts lean protein
1 part whole grains like millets, barley, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth
Small amount of healthy fat like sesame oil, ghee, nuts and seeds.
✔ 3 meals per day
✔ No snacking between meals
✔ Lunch = largest meal
✔ Light Dinner before 7 PM
✔ Stop eating at 70% fullness
✔ Reduce sweet taste in your diet and increase bitter, pungent, Astringent tastes in your diet.
Remove:
• Sodas
• Smoothies
• Fruit juice
• Sugar in any form and High-fructose corn syrup
• Artificial sweeteners, chemical preservatives or additives.
• No ultra processed foods
This stabilizes glucose kinetics.
2️⃣ Movement
✔ 30–40 mins daily (cardio + strength + yoga) + get up every hour and walk 500 steps+ heel raises for 3 minutes.
✔ 10 min rest after meals
✔ 10–15 min walk post-meal(1000 steps)
✔ 30 calf raises
✓ 30 squats
Post-meal walking alone can blunt glucose spikes.
3️⃣ Herbal Support (Only if Appropriate)
Discuss with your Ayurvedic practitioner:
• Berberine
• Fenugreek
• Gurmar
• Amla
• Turmeric
• Triphala
• Guduchi
• Neem
• Cinnamon
• Kutki
• Bitter gourd
Herbs are not one-size-fits-all.
4️⃣ Stress + Sleep
✔ Journal
✔ Meditate
✔ Practice pranayama
✔ Yoga nidra
✔ Sleep by 10–10:30 PM
Poor sleep increases insulin resistance.
Lowering A1C is not about willpower.
It’s about physiology.
