An Ayurvedic approach towards treating the type 1 diabetes mellitus can give an option to manage the patient with less requirement of insulin and can improve the patient’s living. T1DM is a lifelong and complex autoimmune disease with no cure. By Ayurvedic point of view this condition can be correlated with sahaja prameha (hereditary) and vataja prameha. Superficially both conditions are mentioned as asadhya in ayurveda. But so many conditions are mentioned regarding prognosis and management of vataja prameha.
