A research plan has been developed in the present study to address the problems associated with Avaranajanya Madhumeha (type 2 diabetes). This research plan is based on the treatment methods of Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine) and utilization of modern scientific methods as research tools. A specific ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation has been prepared in Ghansatt (solid extract) form; the selected eight herbs and one herbo-mineral have anti-hyperglycemic (PRAMEHA HARA) and antihypercholestermic (MEDOHARA) properties with rejuvenative (RASAYANA) effects as described in classical ayurvedic methods. 15 diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients were selected through accidental sampling. Ayurvedic formulation was prescribed to type II diabetes patients for one year along with dietary restrictions. Diabetic diagnostic parameters of these patients like Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Patrum Blood Sugar (PPBS), Glycocylated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) and Urine Sugar Fasting were monitored every three months; these were measured before and after intervention. The obtained data were statistically analyzed through paired t-test. There was significant reduction in FBS level, PPBS level, HbA1C level and urine fasting sugar level in type 2 diabetes patients who completed the clinical trial successfully. Thus, ayurvedic formulation treatment lead to an overall significant reduction in blood sugar and urine sugar levels in type II diabetes patients. No side effects were noted during the study period. This study suggests that the ayurvedic formulation had very good hypoglycemic effects proved by clinical improvement and bio-chemical analysis of diabetes parameters in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.

Type II diabetes is caused by insulin resistance resulting in high blood sugar levels. Although the typical symptoms of diabetes are described as polyuria, polydipsia and fatigue as many as 60% of newly diagnosed patients with type II diabetes are asymptomatic. Here authors present a case of a 39-year-old male patient who presented with localized pruritus affecting the medial aspects of his forearms and upper legs as the sole symptom of newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus. The itch symptom markedly improved on significantly reducing his dietary intake of sugars and with the use of metformin. Authors hope to alert clinicians to consider the possibility of underlying diabetes in such presentations to enable swift diagnosis and consequent treatment. It is unusual to find patients presenting with localized itch without any corresponding cutaneous manifestations as a presentation of type II diabetes.

Medical nutritional therapy is an important part of the comprehensive management of type II DM. Good glycemic control can control blood lipid profile levels so that it can reduce the risk of complications of heart disease in people with type II diabetes. This study aims to determine whether education with assistance for 6 months affects macronutrient intake, HbA1c, and lipid profiles in patients with Type II diabetes. This study used a Quasi-Experimental design with experimental design The Pretest-Postest design without a control group. The sample used the purposive sampling method according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria with 30 samples. The research data were obtained from secondary data from the Endocrine Metabolic Poly and Nutritional Poly RSCM Research in 2017. The results showed that there was a significant effect (p 0.05) of education with assistance for 6 months on the value of HbA1c, while with the intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates and fats), LDL and triglycerides had no significant effect (p 0.05). HBA1c levels in this study were significantly related to blood triglyceride levels. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out more research using nutrition education methods with assistance to working groups of young adults and the need to pay attention to compliance with medication consumption or the use of insulin therapy. ABSTRAKTerapi gizi medik merupakan bagian penting dalam pengelolaan DM tipe II secara komprehensif. Kontrol glikemik yang baik dapat mengendalikan kadar profil lipid darah sehingga dapat menurunkan risiko komplikasi penyakit jantung pada penderita DM tipe II. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui apakah edukasi dengan pendampingan selama 6 bulan mempengaruhi asupan zat gizi makro,  nilai HbA1c dan profil lipid pada pasien DM Tipe II. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Quasi Eksperimental dengan desain eksperiment The Pretest- Postest design tanpa grup kontrol. Sampel menggunakan metode Purposive sampling sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi dengan jumlah 30 orang. Data penelitian didapatkan dari data sekunder penelitian Poli Metabolik Endokrin dan Poli Gizi RSCM tahun 2017. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada pengaruh yang bermakna (p0.05) edukasi dengan pendampingan selama 6 bulan terhadap nilai HbA1c, sedangkan dengan asupan zat gizi makro (karbohidrat dan lemak, LDL dan  trigliserida tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan (p0.05). Kadar HBA1c dalam penelitian ini berhubungan nyata dengan kadar tigliserida darah. Kesimpulan edukasi gizi dengan pendampingan selama 6 bulan  kurang efektif mengendalikan perilaku makan dan kontrol lipid darah. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian lagi menggunakan metode edukasi gizi dengan pendampingan pada kelompok usia dewasa muda yang bekerja serta perlu diperhatian kepatuhan konsumsi obat-obatan atau penggunaan terapi insulin. Kata kunci: asupan zat gizi makro, HbA1c, profil lipid, DM tipe II, pendampingan

A study was carried out, in order to assess the risk factors associated with type-II diabetes mellitus in males (Age≥40 years) in district Mardan. Four hundred cases and controls (Each 200) were selected from 10 union councils (7 rural and 3 urban) by a systematic sampling method. In order to select cases and controls, all were interviewed for medical history, on fulfillment of which, cases and controls were separately included for study. In anthropometry, weight, and height were taken for Body Mass Index while waist and hip circumference were taken for waist-to-hip ratio. Fasting blood sugar of cases and controls was determined with the glucometer. Cases and controls were interviewed with Food frequency questionnaire and other questionnaires in order to assess the demographic and socioeconomic characters of the families. The results disclosed that most of the cases had family history of diabetes. In addition to that, cases were also found to have higher (p<0.05) average weight, height and body mass index, and fasting blood sugar level to those of controls. These results also revealed that there was a distinguished (p<0.05) association between dairy and fruit with the health status and about 1/3rd of both cases and controls had satisfactory consumption of dairy and fruit only. A significant link was found among family size, exercise, type of exercise, duration of exercise, watching television, duration of watching television and the status of disease. The study revealed that a combination of anthropometric, dietary and demographic variables were associated with type-II diabetes mellitus in male adult population of district Mardan.

During the last few years India have maximum increase of Type II diabetes mellitus . The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is 2.4% in rural population and 11.6% in urban population[1] . In this study total 10 Subjects of newly diagnosed type II Diabetes Mellitus, who fullled below criteria were selected from D.Y. Patil Ayurvedic Hospital Nerul Navi Mumbai OPD No.1. a) HbA1c level more than 6.5% b) Fasting blood Sugar level (FBS) more than 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) c) 2-hour Post Prandial Blood Sugar level (PPBS) more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L). All 10 subjects treated with Nisha Amalaki Churna 3gms BD one hour before breakfast and before dinner with warm water for three months. Data of subjective parameters and physical examination of subjects was recorded in CRF during three visits 30 days apart. For Statistical Analysis Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test was used to assess Subjective parameters and Paired t-Test was used to compare Fasting Blood Sugar level, two hour post prandial blood sugar levels and HbA1C levels BT and AT. The study showed signicant results in most of the subjective parameters at the level of signicance (P<0.05). Nisha Amalaki Churna reduced Fasting blood sugar levels and post Prandial blood sugar levels signicantly at level of signicance p<0.01. Nisha Amalaki Churna also reduced HbA1C levels signicantly at level of signicance p<0.01.The Ayurvedic mixture Nisha Amalaki Churna was signicantly effective in newly diagnosed Type II Diabetes Mellitus subjects.
