Efficacy and Safety of Diabecon (D-400), A Herbal Formulation, in Diabetic Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diabecon (D-400), a herbal formulation with hypoglycaemic effect, was studied for 12 weeks in 43 patients of maturity-onset diabetes. Diabecon (D-400) significantly reduced fasting (FBS) and twohour postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) in newly diagnosed diabetics and in those already stabilised on antidiabetic medication. Oral hypoglycaemic agents could be omitted in 80% of cases, and the dosage could be reduced in the remaining, while maintaining equally good or better control of diabetes in patients already stabilised with these drugs. Insulin dosage could also be similarly reduced. Side-effects were absent. No deleterious effects were observed on the liver, kidney or haemopoietic functions.
