Symptoms of marked hyperglycemia include polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss or gain. Based on similarities in signs and symptoms type 2 diabetes mellitus can be compared to its Madhumeha in Ayurveda. All the types of Prameha if not treated in time develop in Madhumeha. Ayurveda also believes that Madhumeha is Medodhatu dushtijanya vyadhi, underlying its connection with obesity and a sedantary lifestyle.
