Clinical Outcome

After approximately four months of individualized Ayurvedic treatment:

✓ HbA1c reduced from diabetic range (8.7%) to near-controlled range (6.1%)
✓ Fasting and post-prandial glucose improved significantly
✓ Weight reduction of approximately 4 kg achieved
✓ Energy levels improved
✓ Digestion improved
✓ No insulin therapy required
✓ Better overall metabolic control

Discussion

According to Ayurveda, Madhumeha is primarily associated with derangement of Kapha,
Meda, and later Vata involvement. In this case, a Vata-dominant presentation was observed.

The treatment approach focused on:

  • Deepana-Pachana
  • Agni correction
  • Medohara action
  • Kapha-Vata balancing
  • Rasayana support
  • Dietary and lifestyle modifications

The combination of herbal formulations, strict dietary compliance, and regular follow-up
contributed to the sustained improvement in glycemic parameters.

Conclusion

This case demonstrates substantial improvement in glycemic control in a newly diagnosed
Type 2 Diabetes patient managed through a personalized Ayurvedic treatment plan under the
supervision of Professor Dr. Shailesh Phalle. HbA1c improved from 8.7% to 6.1% within
four months, accompanied by improved fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels and
better overall well-being.
