Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Clinical studies have also shown that Citrullus colocynthis fruit has a considerable effect on reduction in the mean serum level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) in patients with the T2DM . However, the role of the Citrullus colocynthis in diabetic patients in India scenario has not yet been fully explored. Hence, the present study aims to evaluate the role of Citrullus colocynthis in NIDDM patients coming to Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College Kangra at Tanda, Himachal Pradesh, India.
