| Summary, etc. |
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (Zayābīṭus Sukkari Qism Sāni) is a major health concern in 21st century. Despite tremendous<br />advances in modern sciences, there is a lack of relatively safe and effective drug for its management.<br />The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a polyherbal Unani formulation containing<br />Gurmar booti (Gymnema sylvestre), Gilo (Tinospora cordifolia) and Jamun (Syzygium cumini) in the management of Diabetes<br />Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2). It was a randomised controlled clinical study conducted on 60 participants of DMT2 inadequately<br />controlled by diet and exercise. The test drug was given to group-A participants (n=30) 6 g twice daily orally for 12 weeks and<br />the standard drug metformin (500 mg) was given twice daily orally to group-B participants (n=30).<br />It was observed that the difference between the Mean (± SD) value of fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood<br />glucose (PPBG) and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in Test and Control groups at the end of the study in comparison to<br />baseline was significant (p<0.05). This study concludes that the test drug was effective in reducing FBG and PPBG significantly<br />in diabetic participants’ at 12 weeks of treatment. |
