### input:
I am a diabetic patient for the last 8 months. I want to take ayurvedic medicine instead of allopathy medicine. I dont want to take allopathy medicine because if one takes it, it is to be taken for a life long time. What medicine I can take. My sugar level is FBS 249.

### output:

HAI, I appreciate your concern. Diabetes is not a disease, it is a disorder. More clearly it is not like taking medicine for some period will cure the disease. What ever system of medication for diabetes you should take treatment or manage for life long. As your fasting blood sugar is moderately high. As per Ayurveda system of medicine diet, yoga and medication combined will help you in maintaining diabetes. As per your Body mass index you should schedule your diet. Foods having high glycemic index should be reduced and eat more leafy vegetables in your food. Add millet group of foods (reign, bajra, )in your daily intake. You can split your daily intake into 5 to 6 times without altering daily total intake.(minimal intake at one serve.)wheat and wheat products and fruits like guava, orange,papaya, can be added. Comparing to physical exercise, yoga will give refreshment to the physical and mental health. Certain yoga posture will help in inducing pancreas to secret insulin. (hormone much needed in glucose control.) herbal like, amla, turmric, neem, guducci (diaspora cordifoila, ) etc. many herbal compositions available in market will control blood sugar level. Medication like nisaamalaki, setebid. Above advise will help you in controlling diabetes. However I advise you to consult Ayurvedic specialist to go for a proper investigation and medication. Wish you a healthy life. Thank you Hope I answered your query.
