Brief Summary  

A diet is a combination of foods, individual or community habitually eats to exist or live, or use for therapeutic purposes. Conventionally type-2 diabetes is controlled with diet alone or diet and hypoglycemic agents. American Diabetes Association has defined self-dietary management as the key step in providing the diabetics, the knowledge and skill in relation with treatment, nutritional aspects, medications and complications. Dietary management of diabetes is not only known to achieve optimal blood glucose but also provide energy and prevent or delay diabetic complications.(1)

Various studies have reported bio-active phyto-chemicals in various herbs used as food. The global concern for diversification of these foods to improve therapeutic use for diabetes control by enhancing the beneficial constituents in them has risen. There is a need to integrate these potential foods within innovative systems in accordance with local needs, food habits and priorities.

Considering the busy life of people these days, two ready-to-cook formulations were proposed to be developed to evaluate its efficacy in lowering blood glucose level and also to analyse its effect on Agni (Appetite or digestion) if any. The ingredients used in these formulations will be FSSAI certified and a standardized product.
