Diabetes Mellitus is something that we all have heard at some point in our lives. Today, it has become a common household name. Our parents, friends, or relatives must have been diagnosed with it.
For me, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 6 years ago. Some of the days were challenging because I was also managing my rare disease, Isaac Syndrome. It wasn’t easy to fish out of water. I found myself suddenly addressing my issues. It was a tight spot as I had limited knowledge.
After years of struggle, I now know the knack of managing diabetes with my rare disease. This blog post serves as a reminder to all those who are battling multiple diseases, breathe!
This too shall pass. These are learning lessons that put us in the road to self-acceptance, self-love, and mastery!
Join me on my 6-year journey battling diabetes. On my journey, I have discovered effective natural remedies and lifestyle adjustments. These helped me manage my condition.
I embraced a holistic approach by integrating Ayurvedic solutions. Also, dietary changes and managing stress have become a part of my routine. These techniques gave me a healthier and more fulfilling life.
In this blog post, I am going to share my 5 simple tips that one might follow in their health journey to get a bigger impact.
Overview:
I was diagnosed with a rare disease called Isaacs’ Syndrome. Isaacs’ is a neuromuscular health condition that stems from muscle hyperactivity. My lift post-diagnosis underwent a drastic change. In the process, I also discovered that I had Lyme disease. Lyme is a bacterial illness that gets transmitted through ticks. I was also accompanied by Glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye-related disease that damages the optic nerves. And Membranous Glomerulonephritis is a progressive kidney disease.
Living with a rare neuromuscular condition along with chronic ailments wasn’t easy. That being said, if these were not enough when diabetes joined the mix, it was a whole new ball game.
Coming from a non-medical background, I found it exhausting to navigate through a maze of medical terms and treatment options. I embarked on a 6-year journey to conquer this demanding disease. On my way, I explored the healing potential of natural remedies and lifestyle changes.
Finally, I decided to say goodbye to diabetes, come what may!

It is a chronic health condition that affects the body’s ability to process food into energy. If left untreated, it can be an overwhelming challenge.
Type 2 diabetes, the category I fell into, occurs when the pancreas can’t produce enough insulin. It results in elevated blood sugar levels.
Managing this condition seemed like an uphill battle. So, there was no way out except to stay informed and take proactive steps to ensure a healthier future.
1) Harnessing the Power of Ayurveda
Diving into Ayurveda, I discovered some wonderful remedies. I was recommended, Fenugreek seeds, turmeric, neem leaves, and bitter gourd. These natural ingredients proved to be my friends in stabilizing blood sugar levels. Embracing these time-tested solutions required patience and persistence. The results were worth the journey.
2) Revamping Your Diet for Better Control
This was the game changer. A major turning point in my battle against diabetes was revamping my diet. Steering clear of sugar-loaded beverages and processed foods became important. I kept a check on my carbohydrate intake. Also, balancing protein intake and staying hydrated played crucial roles. I said no to fats, junk food, and eating beyond what was required.
3) Lifestyle Modifications for Optimal Wellness
Though it was challenging to stay consistent, it was definitely worth the effort. At times, I felt demotivated to keep repeating the same schedule every day. But I saw a miraculous transformation over a period of time. Now I feel that every bit of struggle was worth it.
Incorporating walks, exploring nature, and medicinal offerings became integral parts of my regime. Understanding the impact of natural remedies was a well-rounded approach to wellness.

The journey taught me the importance of perseverance and discipline. It surely helped me achieve lasting wellness.

In my quest to conquer diabetes, I learned the value of blending conventional medicines with natural remedies and lifestyle modifications.
A balanced approach is key to managing diabetes and ensuring a fulfilling life. Equally, it is important to seek guidance from healthcare professionals. Also, one needs to maintain regular monitoring and stay committed to the process.
The above solutions can get long-term well-being.
