Obese Diabetic Subjects - Dietary Management
Abstract: The global population will be increasing day by day and suffering from non-communicable diseases, especially Diabetes mellitus, which is related to faulty dietary habits, including low fiber intake, high intake of carbohydrates, and a lack of intake of multinutrients. Obesity and overweight are the most important risk factors for diabetes compared to other factors. During 2017, the present study investigator conducted a study on Obesity as a predisposing factor for diabetes mellitus, and the results showed the majority of the subjects (88%) were obese because of their faulty dietary patterns. Keeping this in view, which is abundant for human consumption, there is interest in looking for new bioactive compounds to treat this disease, including metabolites of marine origin. The present study aimed to check the anti-diabetic activity of Halodule uninervis powder. It is a seagrass that is rich in dietary fiber, magnesium, zinc, iron, and polyphenols. Carbohydrates are low. Additionally, it was observed that this grass has no toxicity. So it can be used for human consumption to control blood glucose levels in subjects with diabetes. The present study investigator used 250mg/kg b.w.t. of Halodule uninervis powder for human supplementation for a period of ninety days, along with nutritional counselling and diabetic music therapy. Divided the human subjects into control and experimental groups. The findings on body weight show that there was a significant (p?0.01) decrease in the experimental groups compared to control groups. The final results show that biochemical parameters were statistically significant (p<.000) and higher in supplementation groups. From the results, it was found that 250 mg/kg b.w.t. of Halodule uninervis powder decreased their body weight in a significant manner (p?0.01) throughout the study period in experimental group when compared with control groups.
