Condition Before Treatment

Once a patient came to Dr. Aishwarya Chand 2 years back in March 2023. He was a 43 year old male with a history of 1.5 years of excessive appetite, excessive thirst  & frequent urination all of which are common symptoms of diabetes mellitus. Along with these symptoms he had fatigue, leg pain, gradual weight loss & disturbed sleep. On the physical examination Dr. Aishwarya finds that appearance wise the patient is centrally obese, dryness around the lips, tongue is coated, cracked & dry. 
While continuing the examination, the doctor noticed that he is a reserved kind of person who doesn't want to open up, kind of irritated, frustrated & angry. He came for the consultation with his mother who told that he has a past emotional set back due to his complicated relationship which made him more angry & frustrated. His emotional background was the reason behind his unexpressive behaviour which made him resent the people who console him.

His diabetes was very poorly managed even after continuous allopathic treatment for two years & no improvements were seen. The patient came with the blood reports which showed that his fasting blood sugar was 135 mg/dl, postprandial 240 mg/dl & HbA1c 6.2%. After seeing his symptoms & issues it was sure that coming to a homeopathic doctor is the correct decision, so that he can get relief for a long time. 

Treatment Approach

After a thorough diagnosis including physically & emotionally, Dr. Aishwarya started his treatment with some basic remedies that will help the reduction of frequent symptoms, improve his metabolism & emotional state.

First Prescription:

1. Natrum Mur 30 once daily for 5 days. The Doctor chose this specific medicine for his emotional state of  being frustrated, irritated & psychosomatic influence.

2. Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture which is a known medicine for diabetes (20 drops in half a cup of water, after meals) to support glucose balance.

3. Syzygium jambolanum Mother Tincture (20 drops, five times daily) to help him with metabolism issues.

Timeline of Improvement 

After 1st month:

Moving forward in this case, the doctor got to know that the patient has some improvement which was never seen in him in two years. His complaint of increased appetite reduced, he was less thirsty than before & frequent urination has a slight relief.

Next Month:

Based on the progress he made, Dr. Aishwarya made a small change in his medication:

• Natrum Mur 200, once daily for 5 days

• Continuing the mother tinctures for 15 days

Following next month (3rd month):

After continuous homeopathic treatment & by doctor’s support, the patient got to see 40% overall improvement. Seeing the significant improvement in the patient, the doctor gave him Saccharum lactis with Natrum Mur 1m (1 dose empty stomach for 1 month), kept the other MT remedies the same & gave him a good diet. His recent blood reports showed that his HbA1c level has gone from 6.2 to 5.9 mg/dl,fasting glucose gone 135 to 101mg/dl & postprandial glucose gone 240 to 200 mg/dl. All these numbers are good & a result of consistency.

Case Conclude

A case where a patient suffered from common symptoms of diabetes mellitus with emotional set back got a relief from homeopathic medicine. Without ignoring or suppressing any of his physical & mental symptoms the doctor treated him with personalized treatment. Now his diabetes is well managed, no frustration or irritation has been seen & glucose levels are in control, all thanks to Homeopathy.
