Success Story: Managing Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Type 2 Diabetes Through Naturopathy
A 25-year-old woman visited Samyama Naturopathy and Rehabilitation Centre with a known history of Type 2 Diabetes and Hypothyroidism. Upon her initial assessment, her fasting blood sugar (FBS) was measured at 199 mg/dL, and her HbA1c level was 9.2%, indicating poorly controlled diabetes. Additionally, her thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level was alarmingly high at 48.65 µIU/mL.
Given these findings, we recommended further testing for thyroid antibodies. The Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (ATPO) level came back elevated at 815.5 IU/mL, leading to a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition.
The patient underwent one month of naturopathy treatment, which included personalized diet modifications and targeted supplementation. Following this treatment, her TSH level significantly improved to 6.83 µIU/mL, and her FBS level dropped to 133 mg/dL.
This case demonstrates the remarkable impact of naturopathy in managing complex conditions like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Type 2 Diabetes within just a month of treatment.
