Diet, regime restrictions and exersise preferably yoga is as important as medicines. Several cases had been cured from this desease by adopting Ayurvedic treatment which may not be common, due to the holistic approach to this disease.
Diabetes Mellitus
  Diabetes is a clinical syndrome characterized by increase in Blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. In Ayurveda, the presence of glucose in urine and blood is referred to as “Madhumeham” (there are 20 types of meha diseases).  
Diabetes is classified as:
A) Primary :
  1. Type 1 (Insulin dependant)
  2. Type 2 (Non insulin dependant)
B) Secondary :
  1. Due to diseases of pancreas
  2. Due to hormonal defect in insulin production.
  3. Due to medicines.(eg: Cortico steroids)
  4. Liver diseases.
  5. Genetic disorders.(in HLA Class 4 gene)
Madhumeham is caused by a) Dhathukshayam (degeneration of Dhathu) and b) Avaranam (engulfment over Doshas). In Insulin dependant diabetes the causative factors identified are genetic factors, virus, diet , immunological factors and pancreatic diseases. In type 2, insulin resistance, life style, obesity, hereditary aspects, pregnancy etc are decisive. In studies it is now known that the increase in the incidence of this disease is directly proportional to modern urban life style, fast food, lack of exercise free regime, mental tension and preservatives, sweeteners, food additive chemicals etc. That is why diabetes is identified as the king of “life style diseases”. Ayurveda clearly defines how defective life style can precipitate diabetes mellitus.
