The popular holistic retreat, Ananda in the Himalayas, recently launched its new Diabetes Management Program. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 830 million people worldwide have diabetes, and more than half of people living with the disease are not receiving treatment. Addressing the rising global burden of diabetes and metabolic health, the program offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, blending time-honored healing practices with modern science to deliver sustained, life-changing results.
A Groundbreaking Approach to Holistic Diabetes Care
Diabetes and metabolic disorders are among the most pressing health challenges worldwide. Yet, conventional care often focuses on blood glucose andsymptoms control, overlooking the connection among mind, body, and lifestyle. Ananda’s revolutionary program reimagines diabetes management by synergizing Ayurveda, yoga, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), physiotherapy, nutritional science, and emotional healing.
“At Ananda, we target not only physiological aspects but focus on the root causes,” says Dr. Sreelal Sankar, head of Ayurveda at Ananda. “Our commitment to holistic diabetes care is validated by strong results. We have recorded remarkable improvements in blood glucose, insulin resistance, weight, and even reversal of long-standing diabetes. Our approach brings together the depth of traditional wisdom and the precision of modern health protocols, empowering individuals to transform their health, regain confidence, and sustain meaningful lifestyle change.”
Ideal Candidates
The program is particularly helpful to Type 2 diabetics or prediabetics seeking powerful management and potential reversal strategies. It offers preventive care of diabetes-associated complications including obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Type 1 diabetics may also find it useful, especially those looking for advanced complication prevention and overall wellness.

Ananda’s Diabetes Management Program starts with 14 nights. Each guest is supported with continuous monitoring and ongoing assessments along with post-stay consultations and long-term follow-up to help ensure lasting results.
