Abstract
Madhumeha is by far the most common of the metabolic disorders. It is not a specific disease in Ayurveda but considered as a variety of the disease ‘Prameha’. The present day scholars have correlated it with Diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous chronic metabolic disorder principally characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin action and/or insulin secretion. When fully expressed, diabetes is characterized by fasting hyperglycemia, but the disease can also be recognized during less overt stage and before fasting hyperglycemia appears, most usually by the presence of glucose intolerance. Diabetes mellitus may be suspected or recognized clinically by the presence of characteristic symptoms such as excessive thirst, polyuria, pruritus, otherwise unexplained weight loss, or one or more of the many complication associated with or attributable to the disease.
