It can be compared under the broad head of Prameha janya upadrava as it manifests secondary to Diabetes mellitus. It can be treated in dual line of treatment directed at the main disease Prameha and its complications. It will have the same Nidaana, Dosha, and Dushyas as that of the main Disease, though they have Samprapti of its own. When main Disease is managed well complications will disappear.
