Ananda in the Himalayas Launches New Integrated Diabetes Management Program
Diabetes isn’t just a medical condition you hear about in clinics anymore - it’s a growing global challenge. In 2025, more than 570 million adults worldwide are living with diabetes, almost double the number from 1990. Beyond elevated blood sugar, diabetes can impact the heart, kidneys, nerves, eyes, and even mental health.
Ananda in the Himalayas has taken this challenge head-on with the launch of its Integrated Diabetes Management Program - an immersive retreat designed to combine the best of ancient wellness traditions with modern health science.
A transformative approach to metabolic health
This isn’t your average health program. Ananda’s team has worked with countless guests managing diabetes while also juggling stress, burnout, disrupted routines, and a deep desire to feel well again. Their new approach begins with a comprehensive assessment across multiple wellness disciplines, including:
Ayurveda – personalised therapies and herbal supplements targeting underlying imbalances.
Yoga & Meditation – daily sessions to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce stress, and support emotional wellbeing.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – therapies to promote energy flow and organ health.
Physiotherapy & Fitness – tailored movement plans to improve circulation and metabolic function.
Nutrition – specialised, balanced meals designed to stabilise blood sugar and boost energy.
Emotional Healing – techniques to address the psychological impact of living with diabetes.
How the program works
Guests choose between a 14-night or 21-night stay in the serene Himalayan foothills. The stay includes:
Initial expert consultations and assessments
A personalised schedule of detoxification, therapeutic treatments, yoga, fitness, and emotional support
Daily monitoring of key health markers
Continuous refinement of the program based on progress
A dedicated plan for sustaining improvements at home, including post-stay consultations
What our guests can expect
The goal is to deliver measurable benefits in blood sugar control, weight management, energy, and overall wellbeing. Beyond the physical results, the program helps guests build the knowledge, confidence and lifestyle habits to continue managing their health long after they’ve returned home.
Imagine waking up to crisp mountain air, starting the day with gentle yoga, receiving a customised Ayurvedic massage, learning mindful eating strategies, and feeling supported by a team that understands your unique needs.
Why this matters now
With diabetes affecting more families than ever, this program offers an empowering alternative to conventional treatment alone. By combining the wisdom of Ayurveda, yoga and TCM with modern nutrition and physiotherapy, Ananda addresses both the root causes and the day-to-day challenges of living with diabetes.
