two diseases are a spectrum, distinct at the two ends
but overlapping in the middle. At one end of the
spectrum there is type 1 diabetes comprising of
insulin deficiency with no resistance. Type 1 diabetes
is most prevalent in Northern European countries,
particularly Finland, and the incidence is increasing in
most populations, particularly in young children. Type
2 diabetes is common in all populations enjoying an
affluent lifestyle and is also increasing in frequency,
particularly in adolescents. The beta cells of the islets
of Langerhans in the pancreas gland are responsible
for the production of the hormone insulin. The
hormone insulin is extremely crucial for the proper
utilization of carbohydrates in our body. If insulin is
absent either due to metabolic disorder, or if it is not
carrying out its functions properly, then these
carbohydrates accumulates in the bloodstream in the
form of glucose. The glucose then passes into the
urine, which is one of the primary features of diabetes
mellitus. Hence, this can be supposed to be either a
deficiency in the making of insulin by the pancreas or
a dysfunction of the insulin formed by the pancreas.
Madhumeha :[10,11,12,13,]
Madhumeha known as silent killer needs to be treated
as early as possible to stop onset of
complications. Madhumeha is a Tridosha
dominant Vyadhi but Avrutta Vata and Bahudrava
Shlesma is the main ailments. It is a subtype of Vataja
Prameha According to bruhatrayees and lagutrayees,
prameha is divided into 20 types among them one is
Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus). All these pramehas
are diagnosed with the help of Gandha, Varna, Rasa,
Sparsha of mutra. Majority of the ayurvedic
physicians are diagnosing prameha with the help of
poorvarupa lakshanas such as malas accumulated in
the dantha, pani-daha, pada-daha, trishna, excessive
sweda, madhuryamasyata. Madhumeha is one of the
twenty types of Prameha. . If these Prameha are not
cured properly then they might convert into
Madhumeha and become incurable. Ojomeha is a
subtype of vātaja prameha. The depletion of oja
through the urine changes its taste and texture by
vitiated vata consequences in Ojomeha. Alteration in
qualities of Oja is due to 'Vata Prabhava'. At the
gross level, Prameha is viewed as an endocrinal and
metabolic problem. Characterization of Prameha as
Sahaja (innate) and Apathyanimittaja (acquired)
favours the connection of madhumeha as diabetes
mellitus. According to Jalpakalpataru commentary on
charaka samhitha by Gangadhara, in prameha
adhyaya mentioning about changes in Ojas swarupa.
Ojo swarupalakshanas are sarpi varnam, madhu
rasam, laja gandhi. Among these lakshanas madhura
rasa is converted into kashaya rasa as mentioned in
madhumeha by Charaka and Madhavanidana.
Madhumeha comes under the group of vataja
prameha where the involvement of dasha dushyas can
be found in its severe grade. Therefore dushti
lakshanas of dushyas may be mostly found in
Dhatupaka.
