ABSTRACT

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), known as Madhumeha in Ayurveda, is a growing global health burden characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance and/or deficiency. While modern medicine offers pharmacological interventions, Ayurveda provides a holistic approach rooted in diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic formulations that may offer long-term benefits and fewer side effects. This case report describes the management of a 47-year-old female patient diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus using an integrated approach that incorporates Ayurvedic treatments. Prior to the intervention, the patient struggled with generalized weakness and mild lower limb pain, compounded by ineffective use of conventional medication due to side effects. Over a period of six months, an Ayurvedic regimen tailored to the patient's symptomatic profile and medical history was administered, focusing on correcting metabolic imbalances traditionally associated with the aggravation of Kapha and Vata doshas. Significant improvements were observed, with the patient's HbA1c levels dropping from 9.2% to 5.9%, marking an enhancement in glycaemic control. Additionally, subjective health indices such as energy levels and pain severity saw considerable improvements. The follow-ups conducted at regular intervals ensured the treatments' adaptability and efficacy, highlighting the potential of Ayurvedic medicine as a viable complement or alternative to conventional diabetes management strategies. This case supports further exploration into Ayurvedic practices and their integration into mainstream healthcare for chronic conditions.
