BACKGROUND: India leads the world with maximum number of @entity6 @entity1 being termed as the " @entity6 capital of the world." Certain risk factors including unsatisfactory diet, overweight, and a sedentary lifestyle are potentially reversible. Acharayas have widely described the role of diet and activities to control Madhumeha ( @entity6 [ @entity6 ]) along with medications. Habitual consumption of roasted or dry @entity2247 ( @entity2247 .) flour, Mudga (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) prevents the manifestation of Prameha. AIM: To assess the clinical effects of dietary interventions and life style modifications in Madhumeha @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Present study was carried out on 56 @entity1 of Madhumeha from S.S. Hospital, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Dietary interventions and life style modifications schedule was prepared based on Ayurvedic principles and @entity1 were advised to follow this regimen. Three consecutive follow-ups were done for 3 months at the interval of one month each. RESULTS: Significant improvement was observed in clinical signs and symptoms along with plasma @entity413 and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Madhumeha @entity1 after these interventions (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Dietary interventions and life style modifications are two important tools by which adequate glycemic control can be obtained, especially in newly diagnosed @entity6 @entity1 and in @entity1 who are on antidiabetic medication, but not properly controlled.
