Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes in which India is the second largest globally, characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin action. Rice is the staple food of over half of the world’s population, having multiple Nutritional Benefits. Objective: To see the effect of white rice with ghee by cooking in an open vessel on blood sugar level in diabetic patients.

Materials and Methods: Experimental study with Clinical Trial performed at Vishwaraj Hospital Pune, to correct Blood Sugar Level in type 2 diabetes patients by Nutritional Intervention of White Rice which was cooked in an open vessel with Ghee after Institutional Ethics Committee approval and registered under Clinical Trial Registry of India -CTRI/2022/05/042533. All 103 enrolled participants were provided written information of ‘Method of Rice preparation’.  During intervention, telephonic follow up had taken every 15th day, till 90 days. After 90 days of intervention, all patients were asked to repeat HBA1C level to compare their previous HBA1C which was done before enrollment.

Results: After 3 months of intervention, 86.41% participants had decreased HBA1C level, 13.59% participants had increased HBA1C. Statistical analysis done by Paired t Test which compares the means of two measurements of HBA1C taken from same individual i.e. paired observations, purpose of test is to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the mean difference between paired observations is significantly different from zero.

Conclusion: This study concluded that white rice prepared with ghee in an open vessel does not increase blood sugar level in type 2 diabetes patients.
