Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus being a leading cause of mortality, disability and reduced life expectancy, is a major concern in healthcare worldwide affecting every country, age group and sex. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global burden of diabetes has increased significantly in recent decades and is expected to continue rising in the coming years. In 2017, it was estimated that 451 million adults were living with diabetes worldwide. If effective prevention methods are not adopted, this number is projected to reach 693 million by 2045. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports that the global prevalence of diabetes among adults aged 20-79 was 9.8% in 2021. According to the IDF data, as of 2021, Pakistan has a diabetes prevalence rate of 30.8%, which is the highest among the top 15 countries with the highest rates of diabetes. To conduct this research study 20 diabetic patients from age group 35-40 with normal BMI and elevated blood glucose levels from district of Faisalabad were enrolled via convenient sampling. T0 was the control group whereas T1 was the experimental group. The experimental group T1 was supplemented with Indian rennet tea with a dosage of 50 mg/kg body weight in 150 ml water/day, empty stomach for three months. The results obtained were analyzed through SPSS version 26. Biochemical analysis of HbA1C level was calculated through paired t-test, pre and post consumption of therapeutic tea and it was found that those diabetic patients who used consumed Indian rennet tea had minimized blood glucose levels as compared to those who did not take therapeutic tea. i.e. blood glucose of control group > blood glucose of experimental group. In a nutshell, considering the HbA1C levels, it was found that Indian rennet tea had a significant association with blood glucose levels. The diabetic patients who consumed Indian rennet tea saw a significant decrease in blood glucose levels with overall improvement in health.
