ABSTRACT
A herbal powder consisting of Guargum, Methi, Tundika and Meshasringi was administered to thirty control and thirty NIDDM patients twice daily before principal meals for four weeks. Oral GTT showed improvement in both control and patient groups. Serum total and LDL cholesterol also fell significantly in both the groups after the trial period. Test meal of the herbal powder with D-Xylose excretion was otherwise normal. Follow up for upto two years did not reveal any long term side effect of the powder. This powder, therefore, can be effectively used to reduce postprandial blood glucose and LDL cholesterol in NIDDM patients as a long term measure.
