Prevalence of diabetes is increasing day by day throughout the world where India leads the highest number. Faulty dietary habits sedentary life style and stressful conditions may lead to various metabolic disorders and diabetes is one among them. According to classic Ayurvedic literature, all types of Prameha start with the derangement of Kapha that spreads throughout the body and mixes with Meda. Prameha is preventable by adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. To prevent this disease and it‟s complications it is necessary to follow principles of Ayurveda i.e. Nidanaparivarjan, Ashtahar Vidhivisheshayatan, Dincharya, Rutucharya, Sadavritta and practicing particular Asana and Yoga postures. And by following Ayurveda one can prevent or at least delay the onset of diabetes and thus reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases.
