Brief Summary   Prediabetes is a salient state of Hyperglycaemia or Hyperinsulinaemia that often precedes a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM ). It is projected that by 2040, almost 8% of the global population will have prediabetes, with approximately 70% progressing to T2DM within their lifetime.1 Although at present prediabetes is considered as mild disease, the shift towards acceptance as an independent pathological entity is supported by inclusion in the 2015 International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD).This inclusion is important for public perception as it conveys the medically supported need for treatment or intervention.
According to Ayurveda Vidanga choorna with Takra is explained in the Vaidhya Manorama in Prameha chiktsa. The objective of the study is to find out the effect of Vidanga choorna with Takra in Prediabetic population in achieving glycemic control. 66 participants irrespective of gender in the age group of 35-60 years with FBS value 100-125mg/dl, PPBS value 140-199 mg/dl and HbA1C value 5.7-6.4% are selected for this Quasi Experimental study from the OPD of Swasthavritta, Govt.Ayurveda college, Thiruvananthapuram and are consecutively allocated into 2 groups, namely study group and control group. The participants in the study group will be instructed to take 6gm of Vidanga choorna along with 100 ml of Takra in two divided dose along with Dietary Modifications while the control group will be instructed to follow Dietary Modifications only . The study period is 90days.The outcome measurements will be analysed through blood investigations of FBS, PPBS, 0th day, 31st ,61st and 91st day and HbA1c on 0th day and 91st day.
