Ayurvedic View
Prameha- Here the word prameha is derived from the root word 'mih sechane means watering, here it means urination, and 'pra' means in excess, in both frequency and quantity. Due to a sedentary lifestyle and consumption of food that is heavy, unctuous, newly harvested rice, curd, excess of sweet taste, etc, virudha ahara (incompatible food), adhyashana (intake of food before digestion of previous food), etc, causes aggravation of kapha dosha, which affects dhatus like medas (fat), mamsa (muscle),udaka (lymph), etc, along with low digestive power, these dushitha dhatus (vitiated body fluids and tissues) is taken down towards urinary system, causing diabetes. Due to the predominant dosha involved, there are various symptoms but the main symptom is the excretion of aavila mutra (unctuous or turbid urine) with a change in the normal color of urine. Ayurveda way of approach is to correct manda agni (metabolism), bring dosha back to prakruta avastha (healthy, balanced state), reduce the symptoms, and prevent complications by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment and medicine, guiding towards following of healthy diet and lifestyle.
