Abstract

Diabetes mellitus, once regarded as a single disease entity, is now seen as a heterogeneous group of diseases,
characterized by a state of chronic hyperglycemia, resulting from diverse of etiologies, environmental and
genetic, acting jointly. Currently the number of cases of diabetes mellitus worldwide is estimated to be 150
million. A male patient aged 45 years hailing from Mysore, Karnataka state, India working as a professor in an
engineering college, a known case of DM II since 15 years, complained of uncontrolled blood glucose level even
when on regular “oral hypoglycemic drugs”. Also his Lipid profile showed dyslipidemia. The case was
managed successfully by administering Sadyo virechana initially followed with asthapana basti.
