Abstract

With increase of obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habit, type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as other non-communicable diseases have become the source of modern-day epidemic. Patient present with diabetes in hospitals are just the tip of icebergs, with much more undiagnosed patients and pre diabetic patients in society. These causes significant burden in available healthcare facilities, which prompts the necessity of an alternative treatment. Homoeopathy is a holistic mode of treatment used in diabetes for centuries and this could bridge the gap between increasing number of patients of this modern-day epidemic and limited resources of conventional treatment.
