different groups of patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Abstract
Background and
Aim:
Patients with Type 2 diabetes can take
"Levulose Instead Of Sugar" and still maintain their
blood sugar level normal is the concept of the all
natural sugar manufactures. Hence a study was undertaken
to evaluate the effect of two different dosages of
levulose (fruit sugar) in patients with type 2 diabetes
who were already on treatment and with no other major
complications, while aiming to achieve and maintain
HbA1c<7.0%.By studying these patients on levulose, it
will be possible for us to come to a conclusion that
patients with Type 2 diabetes can take levulose instead
of sugar and still maintain their blood sugar level
normal.
Study Design:
A study was
performed in Dr.V Seshiah Diabetes Care
& Research Institute - chennai.
Consecutive 30 Type 2 diabetic patients
where 15 patients on 10 gms grouped as 1
and 15 on 15 gms of Levulose grouped as
2.A thorough blood investigation was
done on the beginning of the study.
After a month of taking Levulose the FBS
and PPBS was checked and again after a
month of taking levulose, a complete
blood investigations was performed. This
was done for both the groups.
Results:
A total of type
2 diabetic patients, among them 15 patients on 10 gms
grouped as 1 and 15 on 15 gms of levulose grouped as
2.Among them all the patients (100%) were diagnosed that
the blood sugar has not increased along with the
medications prescribed for their treatment on diabetes.
Analysis of these cases revealed that levulose has also
not disturbed the other blood investigations.
Findings:
The following
are the findings of the study. Levulose does not raise
the blood sugar level. At the same time it cannot be a
treatment for lowering of blood sugar. Levulose does not
disturb the other factor in the blood investigations as
per the tests at the beginning and the end of study.
Conclusion:
People
with Diabetes need not be deprived of taking sweet
things instead can use Levulose, which has proven that it does
not increase the blood sugar and does not alter lipid
profile.
