Not all Diabetics are recognized at the time of onset. The development of foot ulcer, renal impairment, sensory loss, and retinopathy may be the presenting findings in a patient who is not known to have Diabetes. 30% of Diabetes patients are affected with Diabetic neuropathy2.

Diabetic foot is responsible for 50 % of hospital admission & may even end in amputation. It can be prevented by effective patient education & medical supervision2.

In Ayurveda Samhitha, Karapada daha is explained as samanya poorvaroopa of Prameha3,4,5. Daha is also mentioned as Samanya Upadrava of Prameha. In Bhaishajya Ratnavali Pramehamihira Taila Abhyanga is indicated in all the 20 types of Prameha6.

The modern medicine has some of the drugs which intend to give some temporary relief, but such medicine has adverse effects like ataxia, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
