Prameha being one among the Astamagada1,2,3 involving doshadushya itself shows the graveness of the disease. In parlance Diabetes Mellitus can be considered visa-a-vis Prameha, as many of the pathognomonic factors and symptomatology imitate each other. As per international Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas 11th Edition (Published April 2025)4, approximately 89.8 million Indian adults aged 20 – 79 were diagnosed with diabetes in 2024 –that’s one in seven adults worldwide and a 10.5 % prevalence rate making India the country with the second largest number of cases globally. India today, together these sources paint a worring trend: India may have crossed the 100 million threeshold for diagnosed and undiagnosed cases bt late 2023 or early 2024, with figures continuing to rise. Acharya Vaghbhata has coined the term ‘‘Shayanam Vidhivarjit’’ specifically as a causative factor for Prameha,5 all these vihara enhance Kapha dosha in body which is arambhaka hetu of Prameha. Chronic Stress and Poor Sleep work pressure, traffic, financial demands and digital distraction lead to prolonged stress and irregular sleep patterns. Both stress hormone and sleep disturbances interfere with insulin function, raising blood sugar levels over time.
