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.

A study has been conducted to test the use of electric fields to lower blood sugar levels on rats with type II Diabetes Mellitus. This study uses male rats (Rattus novergicus), aged 8-12 weeks weighing 150-200 grams, with a total of 31 rats. Therapy was conducted by putting rats in a chamber that emits an electric field every day for 1 hour for 28 days. To search for the optimum frequency of the treatment, frequency variations of 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz were given. The electrical charge distribution of the air in the room was then measured, whereas mice blood sugar levels were also measured to reveal the effect of the treatment on cell tolerance to sugar, and to come up with the measurement of insulin levels at the end of the treatment. The results of measurements of the electrical charges in the air were very significant generally showing that the treatment with a frequency of 15 to 120 KHz for 4 weeks in the experimental animals could lower their blood sugar (fasting period), but the success rate significantly occurred at a frequency of 15 kHz. The decrease in fasting blood sugar levels after the treatment was probably due to the influence of the treatment (the influence of an electric field) that improved the regulation of insulin receptors. Improvements in the regulation of insulin receptor activities with high gluconeogenesis may be the cause of a decrease in fasting blood sugar levels that is not accompanied by improved cell tolerance to sugar. Keywords: Electric Field, blood sugar levels, insulin levels

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterised by hyperglycaemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. There is no permanent correction of DM in modern science. OHAs are not adequate because the dosage keeps on increasing and sometimes patients get shifted to insulin. DM comes under the umbrella of ‘Prameha’ which is included under Ashtau Mahagada. It is cited as Santarpanottha vyadhi which requires shodhanottara shaman chikitsa. Objectives: to evaluate clinical efficacy of shodhanottara shaman chikitsa in type II Diabetes Mellitus Methodology: An exploratory interventional clinical study in which 5 patients suffering from type II diabetes mellitus (chronicity not more than one year) having Blood Sugar Levels – Fasting>150 and PP>250, HBA1C> 8 were selected for the study. After baseline investigations and clinical examination, the study subjects were given Mahatiktaka Ghrita in escalating dose of 20, 30 and 40 ml for three days for snehana followed by AragvadhaKapilaVati or AbhayadiModaka depending on koshtha on fourth day. This shodhana was repeated every fortnight for three months. After first cycle of shodhana, shamanachikitsa, i. e. Vasantakusumakara Rasa 125mg and Dhatrinisha Choorna (500+250mg) were given. Study subjects were advised to follow specific diet regimen and exercises like Suryanamaskara. During this period Blood Sugar Levels were monitored and accordingly dosage of OHAs was adjusted. Results: Shodhanottara shaman chikitsa was found to be effective in lowering Blood Sugar Levels as well as HBA1C levels. Significant improvement was observed in specific symptoms such as polyphagia, polydypsia, hastapadataladaha, polyuria and debility after three months of treatment. It reduced the OHA dependency of type II diabetic patients. Conclusion:Shodhanottara shaman chikitsa has significant role in management of DM as well as in reduction of OHA dependency of type II diabetic patients. Keywords: Shodhanottara shaman chikitsa, type II Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a glucose metabolism disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels and impaired metabolism of fats, protein, and carbohydrates due to a lack of the hormone insulin, both absolutely and relatively. Alternative treatment of diabetes mellitus with complementary therapies, namely acupressure and smart gymnastic, can improve the fasting blood sugar level. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acupressure and smart gymnastic on fasting blood sugar levels among patients with type II diabetes mellitus. True experimental study pretest and post-test with non-equivalent control group design were applied in this study. Repeated Measure, ANOVA test, showed a significant difference with the mean fasting blood sugar level p-value 0.000 (<0.05). The intervention group is better at lowering fasting blood sugar levels than control group 1 and control group 2 seen from the higher value difference. Conclusion of acupressure therapy with smart gymnastics three times a week for four weeks effectively reduces fasting blood sugar level in a patient with type II diabetes mellitus. This study can be used as a reference for further research, with a larger sample size, controlling the patient's diet, and a longer duration of intervention, so that the results obtained are more valid.

SummaryWe have demonstrated previously that fibrin enhanced plasmin formation by the vascular plasminogen activator was significantly impaired, when components isolated from the plasma of three uncontrolled diabetic patients (type I) were used to study plasminogen activation in vitro. In the present study it can be demonstrated that functional properties of the vascular plasminogen activators as well as of the plasminogens from the same three diabetic patients are significantly improved after normalization of blood sugar levels and improvement of HbAlc values. Most pronounced the Km of diabetic vascular plasminogen activator in the presence of fibrin returned to normal values, and for diabetic plasminogen the prolonged lag period until maximal plasmin formation occurred was shortened to almost control values. From these data we conclude that the observed abnormalities of in vitro fibrinolysis are not primarily associated with the diabetic disease, but might be secondary to metabolic disorders caused by diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) results from beta cell dysfunction or reduced action of insulin responsive. The objective of this study was to examine the relevance between blood sugar, the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in fasting women diabetic patients in different durations. A total of sixty-eight women were divided into three groups: first a healthy group – non-diabetic (twenty-six women), second and third groups (twenty-one) were diabetic patients of age 35 – 50 and 51 – 69 years respectively. Serum fasting blood sugar was significantly (P < 0.05) elevated to 181.60 mg/dl in female patients with 35 – 50 years. The same effect happened in activity of AST to 32.91 u/L in 51 – 69 years and ALT was 28.43 u/L in 35 – 50 years. No significant differences were found between the aged and fasting blood sugar, AST and ALT in diabetic patients. The correlation factor (r) between fasting blood sugar and the activity of ALT was highly significant.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia requires participation of all parties including pharmacists. This study aims to determine the impact of the implementation of home pharmacy service guidelines for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeurical satisfaction and glycemic control. This study used a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test design involving 37 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who met the requirements of inclusion and exclusion criterias. The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) and the Diabetes Medication Satisfaction Tool (DMSAT) were used for collecting the data. Patient adherence was measured using a pillcount method and fasting blood sugar levels (FSB) data were obtained from the laboratory results. The study was conducted in two community health centers and patient’s home in the Yogyakarta Municipality area. The data were analysed using Wilcoxon and Spearman test. The results showed the change of the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeutic satisfaction and glycemic control before and after intervention of pharmacy services at home. The average decreasing of fasting blood sugar levels 17.09 mg/dL ± 1.43

Abstract Background and Objectives: There is a need to re assess the value of low-GI food and its specific components. The effect of one of them, namely low-glycemic-index sugar, is unclear, as its impact is usually confounded when reported in the literature. This study attempts to breach this gap, shedding light on its effect in type 2 diabetic patients and evaluate if it could be considered as part of a dietary plan.Subjects and Methods: The blood sugar level of twenty (20) type 2 diabetics was monitored using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system during two phases; firstly, an initial period of 5 days, whereby all the included patients were taking their usual dietary meals. Subjects were then randomized into two groups of equal size before embarking on a second phase; 10 subjects were instructed to eat prepared, portioned and delivered meals, the difference for the second group being that low-GI sugar was used for the preparation. Results: Compared to baseline (day 1), blood sugar dropped by 18% for the group with low-GI sugar and 13% for those who consumed sugar with a normal-GI. The variation in sugar levels was also more contained in the interventional group. A by-product of the study design shows that constant glucose monitoring could raise awareness, and may foster reduction in blood sugar levels. Portioned food was capable of reducing blood sugar levels, with elevated levels of compliance just after start. Conclusions: Even though the ultimate aim is to reduce sugar consumption by diabetic patients, the intake of a low-GI sugar seems to be less harmful than normal sugar. Compared to using normal sugar for the preparation of portioned foods, the use of a low-GI sugar is encouraged as part of a wider plan for the management of diabetic patients.
