Background: DM is often treated with a range of anti-diabetic medications (ADD), which can be used alone or in combination with other medicines from various classes. However, there are several side effects related with the use of these ADDs, including dizziness, fainting, gastrointestinal distress, dyspepsia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and so on. Diabetic patients' quality of life is already impacted by uncomfortable symptoms. Comprehensive diabetic care (CDC) is an Ayurvedic treatment that combines Panchkarma (five internal bio-cleansing therapies), a purification procedure, the administration of herbal medications to patients, and nutrition therapy. Physical activity or exercise particularly resistance training (RT) is thought to be a good therapy regimen for T2DM. Case information: Case 1 was a 38-year-old male, who was known case of type 2 DM since 2 years came with chief complaint of generalized weakness. He was diagnosed with T2DM 2 years back. Case 2 was a 50 years old male who came with the chief complaints of arthralgia and dyspnea on exertion grade 1. The patient was known case of T2DM and hypertension since 2 years. Case 3 was a 52 years old male who came with the chief complaints of extreme pricking pain in both the lower limbs. The patient was known case of T2DM since 5 years. These patients had taken oral antidiabetic drugs in the past. All these patients were given comprehensive diabetes care (CDC) along with resistance training exercise on daily basis. Results: Body Mass Index and lean body mass was maintained in first two cases. HbA1c reduction was seen in all the three cases throughout the study period. 2 of 3 patients showed complete adherence to therapy. Conclusion: There is synergistic action of CDC therapy along with resistance training exercise in patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with low to normal BMI.
