The classic remedies are mentioned long ago in Ayurveda. These formulae keep Vata and Kapha Dosha in balance. Ayurveda believes this disease can’t be treated fully. This can be controlled rather. If the body is too lean and having diabetes one should take an extra care as weak body cant withstand against diabetes. Ayurveda believes that one should do santarpana (the nourishing therapy) first and then to treat diabetes.
One who is obese and has developed diabetes by eating too much and sluggish lifestyle must undergo apatarpana (the leaning therapy in which the body is made slim). However it is great controversy that diabetic person can go under panchakarma or not.
