Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, leading to severe complications if left unmanaged. Conventional treatments include lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy, but alternative systems like Unani medicine offer promising therapeutic options. This case study evaluates the efficacy of a Unani pharmacopeial formulation (Safoof-e-Ziabetes) in managing DMT2 in a 62-year-old female patient with symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and lethargy. The formulation, comprising Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum), Tukm-e-Kalonji (Nigella sativa), and Tukm-e-Kasni (Cichorium intybus), was administered at 3g twice daily for eight weeks alongside dietary modifications. Significant reductions in Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS: 321 → 97 mg/dL) and Post-Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS: 441 → 189 mg/dL) were observed, alongside symptomatic relief. The anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and antioxidant properties of the ingredients likely contributed to these outcomes. Despite limitations, this study highlights the formulation’s potential as an adjunct therapy for DMT2, warranting further large-scale trials to validate its efficacy and mechanisms. The findings suggest that Unani medicine may offer a viable complementary approach to improving glycaemic control and quality of life in diabetic patients.
