This medodusti in turn vitiates mamsa, shareerakleda, shukra, shonita, vasa, majja, lasika, rasa and ojas in the vyadhisamprapti which are the ten distinct dushyas in this disease. Diabetes mellitus is counted among the major diseases which are responsible for morbidity and mortality. At least 171 million people worldwide have diabetes; this figure is likely to be more than double by 2030. Around 3.2 million deaths every year are attributable to complications of diabetes.
