A research plan has been developed in the present study to address the problems associated with Avaranajanya Madhumeha (type 2 diabetes). This research plan is based on the treatment methods of Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine) and utilization of modern scientific methods as research tools. A specific ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation has been prepared in Ghansatt (solid extract) form; the selected eight herbs and one herbo-mineral have anti-hyperglycemic (PRAMEHA HARA) and antihypercholestermic (MEDOHARA) properties with rejuvenative (RASAYANA) effects as described in classical ayurvedic methods. 15 diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients were selected through accidental sampling. Ayurvedic formulation was prescribed to type II diabetes patients for one year along with dietary restrictions. Diabetic diagnostic parameters of these patients like Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Patrum Blood Sugar (PPBS), Glycocylated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) and Urine Sugar Fasting were monitored every three months; these were measured before and after intervention. The obtained data were statistically analyzed through paired t-test. There was significant reduction in FBS level, PPBS level, HbA1C level and urine fasting sugar level in type 2 diabetes patients who completed the clinical trial successfully. Thus, ayurvedic formulation treatment lead to an overall significant reduction in blood sugar and urine sugar levels in type II diabetes patients. No side effects were noted during the study period. This study suggests that the ayurvedic formulation had very good hypoglycemic effects proved by clinical improvement and bio-chemical analysis of diabetes parameters in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.

Type II diabetes is caused by insulin resistance resulting in high blood sugar levels. Although the typical symptoms of diabetes are described as polyuria, polydipsia and fatigue as many as 60% of newly diagnosed patients with type II diabetes are asymptomatic. Here authors present a case of a 39-year-old male patient who presented with localized pruritus affecting the medial aspects of his forearms and upper legs as the sole symptom of newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus. The itch symptom markedly improved on significantly reducing his dietary intake of sugars and with the use of metformin. Authors hope to alert clinicians to consider the possibility of underlying diabetes in such presentations to enable swift diagnosis and consequent treatment. It is unusual to find patients presenting with localized itch without any corresponding cutaneous manifestations as a presentation of type II diabetes.

Background: Type II diabetes is one of vital health problems in Pakistan. Type 2 diabetic patients are more prone to developVitamin-D deficiency and hypocalcaemia however, the effect of age, sex, ethnicity, BMI and socioeconomic status also has a role inaffecting the outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare Vitamin-D level in patients with type-2 Diabetic Mellitus of differentage and sex and to determine the association of vitamin-D level with BMI, calcium and blood sugar level.Objectives: The main objective of this study was to determine and compare the changes in Vitamin- D and serum calcium level inpatients with type- 2 diabetes mellitus with respect to their Body Mass Index (BMI), age, sex and ethnic groups.Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study, carried out in the outpatient department of endocrine unit ofHayatabad Medical Complex, Pakistan from 1st July 2018 to 31st august 2018. Using convenient sampling technique, patients withknown cases of Type II diabetes mellitus of all age groups, regardless of gender, ethnic group were consented to be part of thestudy. Patients taking vitamin D and calcium supplements and patients with renal and liver diseases were excluded. For vitamin Dand Calcium concentration 5 ml blood was taken. Data was recorded on a structured Proforma and entered into SPSS version22.0. For comparison student's t-test was used while Pearson correlation was used for determining the association betweenvitamin-D, BMI, blood sugar level and calcium concentration, where P-value <0.05 was considered as significant.Results: A total of 238 individuals with mean age of 51.24 ± 7.7 out of whom 103(49.2%) were males and 121(50.8%) werefemales. The mean vitamin-D concentration was 17.86 ± 15.3 ng/ml and mean calcium level was 8.50 ± 0.6 mg/dL respectively.Regarding vitamin D deficiency males were more affected as compared to females (p=0.04). However in case of calciumconcentration there was no significant difference (p=0.17). The relationship observed between blood sugar level and vitamin D wasweakly inverse (r =-0.035, P = 0.5). However the inverse relationship of sugar level and calcium was significant (r=-0.135, p=0.01).Conclusion: Type-II diabetes mellitus leads may lead to low calcium levels where males are more prone to be affected. Thiscondition aggravates with increase in age. This study basically concludes that vitamin-D deficiency in inversely associated withtype-2 diabetes.
