It is characterised by polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, rapid weight loss, fatigue etc. Based on similarities in signs and symptoms DM can be correlated with <em>Prameha/Madhumeha</em> in Ayurveda. <em>Rasausadhies</em> (metallic formulations) have been used in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus with its excellence for centuries but their scientific evaluation has not systematically established with modern tools. <em>Rasausadhies </em>have been popularly used since the period of great alchemist <em>Nagarjuna,</em> i.e. 8<sup>th</sup> century AD.
