• Diet planning is an effective strategy for management of various aspects of diabetes. If you or someone you love has diabetes, knowing the best food for diabetics can help promote health and prevent further decline. Consider these recommendations from the traditional ancient medical science of Ayurveda.According to Ayurveda, diabetes mellitus is known as Madhumeha and it arises in two ways. Aggravation of Vata dosha due to tissue depletion (dhatukshya), is one way diabetes develops. Obstruction of the channels (srotas) through blockage by Kapha dosha and fatty tissue (Kapha Meda Avarana), is another cause of diabetes.Both of these causes increase Vata dosha which may manifest over time as diabetes mellitus.
