I have had Diabetes Type 2 for the past three years. I also have had PCOD for many years. I have been taking Metformin 1000mg a day, and my recent HbA1c has been 7.2. I want a natural and permanent cure for my PCOD and to control my diabetes. I have heard of Ayurvedic medicine Cystolib Nutra to effectively manage PCOD and control insulin levels. Can I take this medicine along with Metformin?
If you wish to add any other medicine (herbal, Ayurvedic or over the counter) to your current medication for managing PCOD and diabetes, it is important to consult a doctor about it, as these medicines may react with the other medicines you may already be taking. Like diabetes, PCOD also has no cure; it can only be managed. The management plan for PCOD depends mainly on your symptoms. Regular exercise, yoga, healthy meals, and avoiding stress are some of the methods to manage PCOD. It is advisable to seek medical advice for a personalised solution to manage PCOD. For managing diabetes with PCOD, it is best to make dietary and lifestyle changes. The doctor may advise dietary changes depending on your height, weight, and lifestyle. This may help maintain a healthy weight, which helps manage PCOS and insulin resistance.
