Abstract

India is the capital of Diabetes Mellitus accounting for 1 in 6 (17%) of all cases of diabetes worldwide. Now-a-days, lack of sufficient physical activity and sedentary lifestyles are the main risk factors for Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by the persistence of hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion and abnormal insu-lin function. Prameha, a disease described in Ayurveda in the letter stage develops into Madhumeha and may be correlated with Diabetes Mellitus. Material and Methods: In order to focus on the disease status, the etiological factors, clinical fea-tures, Pathophysiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis of disease, and preventive measures described in various contexts and the views of researchers are taken into consideration as methods of the review. Discussion and conclusion: Ayurveda strongly believes in the importance of preventive, promotive, and curative aspects to maintain health status. Preventive health can be achieved by the principles of Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta and Achara Rasayan, Hita ahara, and Virudha ahara men-tioned in Ayurveda, Health promotion enables individuals, families, populations, and communities to adopt lifestyles that promote and improve health. But now a days people follow sedentary lifestyles rather than this. Due to lack of sufficient physical activity several lifestyle disorders arise, Madhumeha is one of them. It is a subtype of Prameha Characterized by passing of urine like Madhu (Honey). It may be co-related with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Polyurea, Polydipsia & Polyphagia are the symptoms of DM. There are a lot of complications of the disease from acute metabolic complications to Systemic. But it can be prevented & managed by following the Principles of Ayurveda..
