Control of Blood Glucose Fluctuation With Usage of Polyherbal

The aim of the study is to get insight into control of glycemic variability with Sugar Balance capsules which is the leaves of three herbs: ivy ground (Coccinia indica)-200mg, bougainvillia (Bougainvillea spectabilis)-30mg, Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus rosea)-20mg.

Treatment and study plan

Polyherbal capsule coccinia, bougainvillea, catharanthus

Drug

A unique combination of 3 herbs that lower blood sugars

Other names: Sugar Balance (SB)

Placebo

Drug

Similar looking inactive powder

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean amplitude glycemic excursion

    Time frame: 14 days

    To demonstrate that the difference in mean amplitude glycemic excursions among patients receiving polyherbal medication will be less than 1mmol/dL or 18mg/dL for a sampling frequency: 1 every 15 minutes over 14 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean estimated glycated hemoglobin

    Time frame: 14 days

    Mean estimated glycated hemoglobin difference between test and placebo control group

  2. Number of hypoglycemia episodes

    Time frame: 14 days

    Number of hypoglycemia episodes and duration of hypoglycemia in treatment group
