This case report evaluates the efficacy of a personalized, multidisciplinary chronic care management (CCM) program aimed at improving health outcomes for individuals with polychronic conditions within Pakistan's under-resourced healthcare system. Implemented in November 2023, the intervention was designed to help two office employees newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and associated comorbidities, such as hypertension and obesity. Over six months, the participants engaged in a structured program that included teleconsultations, personalized care plans, and biweekly follow-ups through a social media application. The 'care team,' comprising doctors, nutritionists, wellness coaches, and care attendants, facilitated these interactions. Specific outcomes included a reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from 15% to 5.4% with a 26.3 kg weight loss for Participant 1 and a 3 kg weight loss with a decrease in HbA1c from 6.5% to 6.1% for Participant 2. This report highlights the potential of comprehensive, integrated, and patient-centered diabetes management to enhance glycemic control and weight management in settings burdened by high disease prevalence and limited healthcare resources.< Réduire
