Background
of the Study: A research study on poha consumption and glycemic control was
conducted with the objective of assessing the efficacy of glycemic control. The
population included patients with type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. They were allowed
to continue their normal life pattern during the addition of poha as a diet.
Materials
and Methods: A one-group pretest post-test design was used for the study. The
sample size was 100. The setting was a selected village in Mangalore taluk in
Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. The systematic sampling was used for
the study.
Results:
The post-test GRBS levels of all the patients were lesser than the pretest
levels after one week of pretest. The patients did not have any additional
complaints. The study was significant and was tested at a 0.05 level.
Conclusion:
Poha is a part of the normal occasional diet in south India. Due to the
ignorance of the glycemic control effect of this food, people do not consume it
regularly. Because of the fiber content and slow release of glucose from the
body, regular consumption of his food is very effective in controlling
hyperglycemia. A large-scale awareness is to be created among the diabetic
population regarding the efficacy of this food.
