Diabetes mellitus, commonly called diabetes, is a lifestyle disorder that causes high blood sugar. In this metabolic disorder, either the body fails to synthesise or is unable to utilise the hormone insulin. The hormone insulin moves sugar from circulating blood into cells to store and make it available for utilisation as energy.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical system. In ancient scripts of Ayurveda, diabetes is described as prameha. Prameha and madhumeha have a description as diseases affecting wealthy, affluent and elite populations. The scriptures have documented the use of Ayurveda in diabetes treatment in detail.
The vaidyas believed that the elite population only engaged in the pleasures of life and not physical activity. However, in modern times, we know that diabetes can affect people from all walks of life.
