Patients aged 18 years and above with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) with body mass index >25 participated in the CDC program and were included in this study. Follow-up was conducted after 90 days. Baseline data was compared with follow-up data. Results: A total of 63 patients were assessed. Of the male patients, 29.3%, 43.9%, and 26.8% were found to have impaired, negative and positive glucose tolerance. Among the females, 22.7%, 63.6%, and 13.6% were found to be have impaired, negative and positive glucose tolerance. Weight decreased from 70.70 ± 9.82 kg to 65.15 ± 9.83 kg (p<0.001) from day 1 to day 90. Body mass index decreased from 27.00 ± 3.88 to 24.91 ± 3.75 (p<0.001) from day 1 to day 90. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased from 7.87 ± 1.90% to 5.79 ± 0.51% (p<0.001) from day 1 to day 90. Conclusion: Remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese patients is possible with Ayurvedic principles and diet compliance.
