Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) common form of DM characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and relative insulin deficiency. Interaction between genetic, environmental and behavioral risk factors, more vulnerable to complications, leading to their premature death. Insidious onset and late recognition, leads to increased morbidity and mortality especially in poor resource developing countries. Methods: The Randomized pilot clinical trial was conducted to check the effectiveness of Amla juice and okra juice (lady’s finger) in controlling blood sugar level among T2DM adults aged between 40–60 yrs in rural areas of Puducherry. The 3 villages were selected by cluster sampling method, subjects were selected from 3 villages by simple random sampling method and they were divided into three groups. Five T2DM subjects were recruited from each village. The data were collected on general information, background information, clinical information, anthropometry along with fasting blood sugar, and glycosylated haemoglobin. The group I of 5 subjects were given a medium sized fresh Amla juice (50 g) on a daily basis in empty stomach for 3 months. The group II of 5 subjects were given a medium sized overnight soaked okra’s mucilage (50 g) on a daily basis in empty stomach for 3 months. Results: There was a significant difference exist between before and after intervention in group I and II. The Amla and Okra juice was effective in reducing the FBS level. Conclusion: The study found that Amla juice and okra’s juice therapy confers good glycaemic control in group I and II.
