| dc.description.abstract | Ninety non-insulin dependent diabetic subjects were selected from Punjab Agricultural University and Civil hospitals of Ludhiana. The selected subjects were divided into three groups viz. Group I, II and III having thirty subjects each. The subjects of group I was not given any treatment. The subjects of group II and III were supplemented with 100 mg and 200 mg of Aloe vera L. gel powder respectively for a period of three months and supplementation was continued along with nutrition counselling for the next three months. The nutrition education was given for three months after fifteen days interval to the subjects of group II and III through individual and group contact and gain in nutrition knowledge was assessed after the study. General information, diabetic information, and dietary pattern of the subjects were recorded. The blood glucose and lipid profile were analyzed. The anthropometric measurements and blood pressure of the subjects was also measured. Significant improvement was seen in the food habits, physical activity, sleeping pattern and dietary pattern of the subjects of group II and III after the study. The mean daily intake of green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, fruits increased significantly (P≤0.01) in the subjects of group II and III and a non significant increase (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. The mean energy, carbohydrates, protein and fat intake decreased significantly (P≤0.01) in the subjects of group II and III and a non significant decrease (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. It was seen that there was a significant (P≤0.01) reduction in fasting blood glucose level by 11.4 % and 15.4 % and post prandial glucose level 18.5 % and 27.8 % in the subjects of group II and III respectively after the study. Significant (p≤0.01) reduction in total cholesterol 8.6 % and 10.1 %, triglycerides 9.6% and 12.2 %, LDL-C 12.8 % and 14.6 %, VLDL-C 9.6 % and 12.2 % and an increase in HDL-C 7.3 and 9.4 percent was observed in the subjects of group II and III respectively. The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C reduced from 5.68 to 4.83 and 6.15 to 5.00 and LDL-C to HDL-C from 3.74 to 3.03 and 4.12 to 3.18 in the subjects of group II and III respectively after the study. There was also a significant decrease (P≤0.01) in the blood pressure of the subjects in group II and III and a non significant decrease (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. There was a significant increase (P≤0.01) in knowledge, attitude and practice scores obtained by the subjects of group II and III and a non significant increase (P≤0.01) was seen in the subjects of group I. Hence it can be inferred from the results that supplementation of Aloe vera L. gel powder along with nutrition counselling significantly improved the nutritional status of the diabetic patients. | en_US |
