Introduction

Ayurveda describes a collection of complex clinical conditions collectively called Prameha with frequent, abnormal micturition, which correlate in many ways with obesity, metabolic syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus. Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and Diabetes Mellitus all have three metabolic disorders in common.
The role of intermediate metabolites is crucial in Prameha’s pathogenesis because it is an acquired disease due to incorrect metabolism if nutrients are present. Because of incompletely digested food, .Ayurveda Ama refers to toxic digestion and metabolism intermediates.
Diabetes mellitus falls under the category of Prameha in ayurveda. Prameha is a collective term of 20 disorders in which the entire urinary system is involved, characterized by abnormal values of excessive urination.
The treatment of diabetes without adverse side effects remains a major challenge, and Ayurveda can play an important role in it .The far-reaching distinction in Ayurveda’s primary and secondary Dosha typing helps the person to fine-tune therapy.
