The word ''Prameha'' literally means urinary disorders with increased quantity of urine with turbidity in it. In the last chapter of [[Nidana Sthana]], ''prameha'' is said to have originated from excess consumption of ghee. This chapter deals with the detail etio-pathogenesis, clinical features, classification and management of ''prameha''. It is widely considered as diabetes mellitus. However, ''prameha'' covers various types of obstinate urinary disorders under its umbrella. The key to management of ''prameha roga'' is to attempt to stop its pathogenesis for which the etiological factors responsible for the origin of the disease are identified. These etiological factors include both faulty dietary habits and life style that cause imbalance between energy consumption and energy expenditure and ultimately cause obesity. Indulgence in high calorie diet including refined carbohydrate and bad fat associated with sedentary life style causes excessive storage of fatty tissue in body to disturb the body mass index. The disturbed body mass index reflects as obesity causing disturbed lipid metabolism and assimilation (FFAs, TG, HDL and VLDL) that in turn causes insulin resistance and produces type-2 DM. | The word ''Prameha'' literally means urinary disorders with increased quantity of urine with turbidity in it.
