After 14 days, the treatment was slightly altered. The patient showed significant improvement, for instance, the sugar level which was 254 mg/dl at the time of admission, came down to 124 mg/dl.

The study says it was found that Daruharidra, Giloe, Vijaysar, Gudmar, Methi, and Majishtha in the BGR-34 showed anti-diabetic properties, which helped cut down the sugar levels in the blood.

This medicine is prepared by the country’s research institute, CSIR, after research. Owing to a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary habits, diabetes is on the rise in the country. As per the latest data, 72.9 million people are suffering from diabetes in India.

Natural Approach to Controlling Diabetes

Researchers said that during the study, the patient was also recommended an hour’s walk daily. The patient’s fasting sugar level, which was 254 mg/dl before the start of treatment, came down to 124 mg/dl.

Similarly, the sugar level after breakfast decreased from 413 to 154 mg/dl. All these parameters indicate an effective reduction in blood sugar levels.

Encouraged by the positive results of the treatment plan, the researchers have suggested a comprehensive larger study for its further assessment.

Earlier a study by AIIMS Delhi found that BGR-34 is effective not only in reducing sugar but obesity as well.

Sanchit Sharma, Executive Director, of Aimil Pharmaceuticals, said since diabetic patients have to depend on lifetime medicines, the outcome of the study holds significance.

“These herbal preparations also have elements to increase immunity as well as anti-oxidant levels,” he added.
