Abstract
Diabetes is defined as a group of metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion and insulin action. In every fifth person who suffered from diabetes in the world today is an Indian. Out of the total number of persons suffering from diabetes in the world, which is around 150 million, roughly 35 million are Indians. The environmental factors that may lead to the development of diabetes mellitus include lack of physical activity, drugs and toxic agents, obesity, viral infection. Phytochemicals identified from traditional medicinal plants are presenting an opportunity for the development of new type of therapeutics for diabetes. Gymnema sylvestre supplementation appears to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Reducing postprandial blood glucose significantly caused a decrease of HbA1C, therefore reducing the complication from diabetes. Hence this study was designed to prepare value added products based on south Indian recipes with the incorporation of Gymnema sylvestre helps to prevent the Diabetes mellitus.
