Doctor prescribed him basant kusmakar ras with gold along with Calcium Buti for 02 months and then basant kusmakar ras with Kesar bhuj ras for 02 months.

Ayurvedic medicine is different for each and every person even if having same condition.
Basant kusumakar ras is a classic Ayurvedic medicine which helps in diabetes. Calcium buti and kesar bhuj helps in diabetic neuropathy.
But please do not self medicate.
As some medicine works on one person does not mean it will works for everyone.
Consult an ayurvedic physician for proper treatment

Hi, the said medicines will improve nerve strength and support the other medicines but does not reduce sugar levels they work ,just like a catalyst but not sugar levels.if that is the case all doctors should proscribe only vasanthkusumakar Ras / kesar bhuj etc., based on the sugar levels we have to proscribe ayurvedic medicines and they work only to certain extent only just like allopathy medicines ,where the doctor helps with oral hypogliecimic and insulin medicines

Yes, Basant Kusumakar Ras (with Gold or Kesar) is a classical Rasayana known to nourish pancreas, balance Vata and Kapha, and improve blood sugar control in Madhumeha (Diabetes). It is usually prescribed in chronic or resistant cases with weakness.
However, âCalcium Butiâ and âKesar Bhuj Rasâ are non-classical or proprietary medicinesâso their efficacy and authenticity should be verified with a trusted manufacturer or physician. For reliable results, always opt for treatment under an experienced Ayurveda doctor with clear formulations and follow-ups.
Diabetes can be managed well in Ayurveda with proper herbs, Rasayana, diet, and lifestyle.
