The prevalence of DM is rising alarmingly, worldwide and India. Comprehensive Diabetes Care (CDC) is a combination of <em>Panchakarma</em> and diet management.</p><p><strong>Aims</strong>: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of CDC on Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), body weight, abdominal girth and dependency on conventional therapy in DM Patients.</p><p><strong>Setting and Design</strong>: This observational study was conducted in July 2017, wherein the data of obese Type II DM patients (HbA1c &gt;6.5%) who attended out-patient departments (OPDs) at <em>Madhavbaug</em> clinics in Maharashtra, India were identified.</p><p><strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: Data of patients who were administered CDC (60-75 minutes) with minimum 6 sittings over 90 days (± 15 days) were considered. Variables were compared between day 1 and day 90 of CDC.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>: Out of 27 patients, 22 were included for analysis, out of which 10 were males while 12 females. CDC showed significant improvement in HbA1c 1.1% (from 8.80 ± 0.93 to 6.98 ± 1.73; p&lt;0.001), BMI by 2.66 (from 33.79 ± 3.80 to 31.13 ± 3.91, p&lt; 0.001), weight by 6.56 kg (from 83.67 ± 11.28 to 77.11 ± 12.27, p&lt;0.001). Abdominal girth (from 104.34 ± 9.74 to 96.97 ± 11.93; p&lt;0.001), also showed significant reduction. Dependency on concomitant medicines was reduced, with the number of patients on no concomitant medicines increasing from 27% to 41%.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Comprehensive Diabetes Care Management Program found to be efficacious; by reducing HbA1c, as well as reducing dependency on allopathic medications.</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research}, author={Sane, Rohit M and Sabir, Imran A and Naik, Minal S and Shingan, Tejaswini and Mandole, *Rahul S}, year={2018}, month={Jul.} }
