I am just 30 years old. But I have both diabetes and hypertension. Both has been diagnosed recently. Kindly advice whether I need to take allopathic medication for rest of my life. Is it advisable to take allopathic medication as it is know for its side effects. Can I take ayurvedic or homoeopathic medication? Which one will be effective? Also, please advice whether I can go to gym and do the regular body building exercise?

Allopathic side effects are well known. but nobody knows side effects of ayurvedic or homeopathic medicenes. This is myth that they don't have side effects. there is saying in medicene that a drug which has no side effects, doesn't has any effect. Whole world is following allopathic medicenes, only fraction of population follows ayurvedic. I don't say they are bad it is question of faith. Allopathic is open book it's effect and side effects are written on pamphlet or you can trace them on net. But nothing is available about ayurvedic or homeopathic medicenes. For your confidence, I may tell you many of homeopathic and ayurvedic doctors are my patients for diabetes,
