Abstract

A total of 5 cases were selected for the study, and each patient was administered with constitutional homoeopathic remedy, which were followed during a minimum duration of 03-10 months. The assessment of improvement criteria was based on lab investigation reports (Fasting, Post Prandial, HBA1C). A 53 year male patient came with the complaints of itching and burning in the soles and feet since 3 months and had a known history of TYPE 2 Diabetes Mellitus sice 15 years, taking allopathic medicines. On detailed case taking and history  ,a constitutional homoeopathic medicine was selected by using synthesis. A remedy SULPHUR 30 is prescribed for the patient for 1 month , then the potency of the medicine is increased till 1M. On subsequent follow ups complaints were gradually decreased and blood glucose level and HbA1c also reduced. The clinical presentation and disease progression with Type II Diabetes Mellitus are heterogeneous. Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and it is a major risk factor for early onset of coronary heart disease(1)Complications from type II Diabetes Mellitus has been divided into microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic nephropathy; and macrovascular complications includes cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease. As diabetes continues to spread globally, there is a growing requirement for alternative therapies. Homoeopathy has the capacity to aid in the management of elevated blood sugar levels, thus by providing holistic treatment, Homoeopathy can aid in controlling blood glucose level along  with the  lifestyle changes and allopathic medicines.
