Intervention  Integrated Intensive Wellness(IIW) Strategy  IIW Strategy refers to Comprehensive Lifestyle Modification therapy such as Behaviour Change Communication(BCC), Amla Ginger Curry leaves(AGC)juice, Walking program and Alternate Nostril Breathing Exercise. a).Behaviour Change Communication(BCC): BCC will be implemented based on wellness counselling related to disease process, healthy diet,physical activity, foot care,stress management,tobacco and alcohol cessation on biweekly basis from baseline to 4, 12 & 24 weeks through mobile phone and home visit. b).Amla, Ginger and Curry Leaves(AGC) Juice: Followed by hygienic procedure, Amla -1(60 -70g), 5g ginger and 15 curry leaves would grind in the mixer jar with little water then filter the ingredients with 200ml water. Advice the IIW Strategy group to consume it in an empty stomach early morning for 3-5 days per week alternatively for Six months. Materials will be supplied alternative days by the Principal investigator and ASHA through home visit and also motivate the family members for proper compliance. Advise the study participants or family members to share the geotagged image of AGC drinking through whatssapp and also tick mark in Treatment compliance tracking diary. c).Walking program: Followed by 5 minutes warm up, advised the study group to perform brisk walking for 15-30 minutes, four to five days/week for Six months. All the study participants will be providing training by the PI and ASHA individually during enrollement, regular home visit and walking videos will be shared through whatssapp group. Pedometer walking app will be installed to each study participants for recording the duration. d).Alternate Nostril Breathing exercise: It is a type of breathing technique which involves inhalation through one nostril and exhalation through the other nostril for 5-15 minutes once in a day into 3-5 days/week for 6 months in a calm environment. All the study participants will be provided training by the PI and ASHA individually during enrollment, regular home visit and breathing exercise videos will be shared through whatssapp group. Advise the study participants or family members to share the geotagged image of AGC drinking through whatssapp and also tick mark in Treatment compliance tracking diary. 
Comparator Agent  Oral Anti-diabetic drugs  1).Tab Metformin 250mg OD or BD to 1000mg BD 2).Tab Glimepride 1 or 2mg OD(before breakfast) or Tab Glibenclamide 2.5 to 5mg OD(before breakfast)along with Tab.Metformin for six months as per physician order.
