Abstract

  

Objective: to find out the effect of Syzygium cumini (jamun) seed powder on glycemic control and dyslipidemia

Material and Methods: 99 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with poor glycemic control out of which 50 patients received 10 gms of jamun seed powder supplementation in twice daily dose just before meals along with oral hypoglycemic agents continued as before and 49 patients received placebo with continued oral hypoglycemic agents as before. All the patients were followed up for a total of 90 days,

Result: No significant change in weight, B.M.I., waist circumference, hip circumference, neck circumference and waist hip ratio was noticed. The results of the present study have significantly brought to light the effect of jamun seed powder supplementation in improving glycemic control and dyslipidemia. Being cost effective it may help in improving biochemical parameters of diabetic patients in rural population. However, results need further confirmation by larger studies.  

Keywords: Syzygium cumini (jamun), diabetic patients.
