EFFECT OF MORINGA AND OLIVE LEAVES POWDER CONSUMPTION ON HYPERGLYCEMIC STATE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS (A PILOT STUDY)

Study showed effects of Moringa oleifera (MO) and Olea europaea (OE) leaves powder on lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes patients. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of MO and OE leaves powder on blood glucose control in therapy type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Diabetic patients (160 with diet-controlled type 2 diabetes and 250 non-diabetic) healthy volunteers were asked to fast for 13 hours on three occasions. Blood glucose was measured before and after eating 100g of white carbohydrates (bread) (at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes). On their second and third study visits, they were given 1g and 2g respectively, of Moringa oleifera and Olea europaea leaves powder for 30 minutes after eating the bread.Ingestion of Moringa oleifera (MO) and Olea europaea (OE) leaves powder had no effect on blood glucose in non-diabetic participants, but in diabetic patients, Moringa oleifera and Olea europaea powder reduced post-prandial glycaemia in diabetic patients. A larger study is needed to define the optimal dose and to assess whether this translates into longer-term benefits.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common health problem globally. Dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor to develop cardiovascular disease in diabetics. They present study was undertaken to find out the prevalence of dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods: The present study was a cross sectional study consisting of 46 (23 male and 23 female) known type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Age, gender, duration of diabetes, body mass index (BMI) was recorder in all the diabetic patients. Fasting blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL levels were measured using standard methods and recorded.Results: The average total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and VLDL were 200±42mg/dl, 169.62±89.79mg/dl, 132.45±36.38mg/dl,39.1±16.6mg/dl and 35.85±17.09mg/dl respectively. The incidence of occurrence of hypercholesterolemia was 58.6% and hypertriglyceridemia 36.9%. Increased levels of LDL were observed in 30 (65.2%) patients and reduced HDL was observed in 43 (93.4%) patients. The incidence rate of dyslipidaemia was higher in female diabetic patients when compared to male diabetic patients.Conclusions: Awareness on the dyslipidaemia and its risk factors should be provided to the type 2 diabetic patients as they are more prone to get cardiovascular disease and lipid profile also should be monitored regularly along with blood glucose levels.
