ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus, a lifestyle disorder, has been extensively described in Ayurvedic texts under the term Prameha Vyadhi, with its hallmark symptom being polyuria (Bahu Mutrata). The condition is primarily caused by Kapha-prakopak Aahar-Vihar (diet and lifestyle that aggravates Kapha), leading to metabolic dysfunction and adversely affecting both physical and mental health. This case study involves a 18-year-old female patient who presented with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes at Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on 10/08/2024. Her symptoms included generalized weakness, she was identified as having Kaphaj Prameh. The treatment approach included not only ayurvedic medicines but also placed significant focus on dietary and lifestyle adjustments (Pathya-Apathya). Early results demonstrated a remarkable decrease in HbA1C and mean blood glucose levels, showcasing the potential of Ayurvedic therapy to reverse diabetes when detected in its early stages. This ongoing study highlights the effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions in the management and possible reversal of diabetes mellitus type 2.
