Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder requiring lifelong management, yet interest is growing in complementary, non-invasive approaches that address symptoms and psychosocial well-being. This retrospective observational study reviewed 150 de-identified clinical records of confirmed T2DM patients receiving Swayampurna Upchar Therapy at Niraamay Wellness Centre. Outcomes included symptom burden, emotional well-being, quality of life, medication use, and laboratory glycemic markers, analyzed pre–post with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder requiring lifelong management. While conventional care focuses on glycemic control, alternative therapies are gaining interest for improving symptoms, psychological well-being, and quality of life. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Swayampurna Upchar Therapy a non-invasive, energy-based Ayurvedic modality in individuals with T2DM, with emphasis on symptomatic and psychosocial outcomes.
Materials and Methods: A total of 150 de-identified clinical records of individuals with confirmed T2DM who received Swayampurna Upchar Therapy at Niraamay Wellness Centre were retrospectively reviewed in this observational study. Patient-reported outcomes included diabetes symptom burden, emotional well-being, quality of life, and medication usage, complemented by laboratory parameters related to glycemic control. Data were collected at baseline and at the end of the study period, and pre–post changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: Significant improvements were observed post-intervention in diabetes-related symptoms, emotional well-being, and glycemic markers (all p < 0.005) . Diabetic classifications declined across HbA1c (n=93 to n=39), Fasting BSL (n=83 to n=28), and Postprandial BSL (n=59 to n=8), with parallel increases in pre-diabetic and normoglycemic categories. One-third of participants reduced or discontinued diabetic medications.
Discussion: This study highlights the potential of Swayampurna Upchar as a non-pharmacological intervention for T2DM, with measurable benefits in both physiological and psychological health. Its integrative, patient-centered approach aligns with the growing interest in holistic diabetes care. These findings, while encouraging, warrant confirmation through well-designed prospective studies.
