The objective of present research work is to design and
develop herbal formulation in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a
metabolic disorder characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose above
the normal range. Around 400 herbal treatments for diabetes mellitus are
reported, but only a few of these have been approved of their therapeutic
efficacy. Traditional treatments have mostly disappeared in occidental
societies, but some are prescribed by practitioners of alternative medicine or
taken by patients as supplements to conventional therapy. A hypoglycemic action
from some treatments has been confirmed in animal models and non-insulin
dependent diabetic patients, and various hypoglycemic compounds have been
identified. The herbal substitutes for insulin and related anti-diabetic drugs
seems challenging, but herbal treatments can provide valuable clues for the
development of new oral hypoglycemic agents and simple dietary adjuncts.
Patients in drug powder group showed significant improvement in the management
of diabetes as well as subjective relief in symptoms with diabetes while
placebo group had no significant change in pain score at the end of 12 weeks.
It is recommended that larger and longer duration trials are required to
establish the efficacy and safety of drug powder in treatment of diabetic as
well as its comparison with other groups of drugs before it can he proved to be
better than other drugs in controlling the painful diabetic neuropathy
symptoms.
