Integrated Management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Associated Hyperlipidemia with Naturopathy, Yoga and Diet Control: A Case Report

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome-like systemic problem that has multi-organ  complications. Early intervention may prevent several manifestations of different  organs. Diabetes disrupts the healing process, immunity, and may result in renal  complications, and retinopathies. Our increasing sedentary lifestyle, bad food  habits and lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking are responsible for the  progression of this dreaded disease. Various causes of diabetes may be  pathological, hereditary, congenital, faulty lifestyle, pancreatic malfunction and the  build-up of toxins in the body. Many treatment modalities are available for the  management of this condition but none of these give promising results with long term drug dependency. The drug used in the treatment may have unwanted side  effects. Yoga acts like a panacea for diabetes. Yoga provides an ideal cure for  diabetes management. Yoga therapy is perceivably quick in the earlier stages and  extremely beneficial after continuous practice for hyperglycemia. Yoga improves  the psychological makeup and general feeling of well-being. In the present case  report, I have discussed a case of diabetes associated with hyperlipidemia with  naturopathy, yoga, and diet modification.
