Diabetes mellitus type 2 from the perspective of ayurveda, a case study

The Ayurveda describes a set of complex clinical conditions with frequent, abnormal miction, collectively called Prameha, that in many ways correlate with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus. Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus have in common that they are all three metabolic disorders. In the pathogenesis of Prameha, the role of intermediate metabolites is vital because it is an acquired disease due to incorrect metabolism of nutrients. In Ayurveda, Ama refers to toxic intermediates of digestion and metabolism due to incompletely digested food.
