Excessive thirst in type 2 diabetes occurs because high blood sugar pulls extra water out of the body through urine, leaving you dehydrated. The body then signals you to drink more. Good sugar control usually helps reduce this symptom.

Ayurvedic medicine alone is usually not enough to manage type 2 diabetes. Proper control requires lifestyle changes, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and prescribed anti-diabetic medicines. Always consult a doctor before using Ayurvedic treatments.

Managing type 2 diabetes requires a balanced diet low in sugar and refined carbs, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and monitoring blood sugar levels. Avoid smoking, limit alcohol, manage stress, and ensure enough sleep to help control your blood sugar effectively.

Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of ischemic heart disease because high blood sugar damages blood vessels and nerves, causing atherosclerosis. It often comes with high blood pressure and cholesterol, which further raises the risk. Controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol helps protect the heart.
