This allopathic drug combination can help you treat DIABETES
Diabetes - one of the most common diseases that has gripped almost half of the total population on this planet. What is this disease exactly? While many of you must know the condition very well now, still let's understand the concept and how allopathic can treat it.
Diabetes is a disease that is caused when your blood sugar level is way too high than what is normal. Blood sugar is your body's main and vital source of energy and you get it from the food you eat. Curious to know the whole process? Let's dive in.
Diabetes occurs when there is not enough insulin production in your body. What is this insulin? Insulin is a hormone which is made by the pancreas that helps the glucose from the food that you eat to get into your cells to be used as a source of energy production. When your body is not able to make enough insulin - this glucose settles in your blood. Over time when the glucose content in your blood gets extremely high, health problems such as diabetes occur.
Now that you know what diabetes is. It is very important to understand the warning signs and symptoms of this disease. As, only when you know the signs, you can get yourself treated on time and reduce the severity of the disease.
Here are some of the symptoms you should know:
1. Frequent urination.
2. Sudden weight loss
3. Increase in food intake (hunger)
4. Extreme fatigue or tiredness
5. Loss of vision
But, there's a good news. Ayurvedic formulation BGR-34 along with allopathic drug glibenclamide may have a significant role in controlling diabetes.
A study which was done by the doctors at AIIMS, Delhi have concluded that a combination of allopathic drugs can have a positive effect on diabetes.
The findings hold importance given that people with diabetes are two to four times more likely than others to develop cardiovascular disease, deadly comorbidities that could put a person at a high risk of contracting COVID-19.
According to the study reports, the doctors at AIIMS have found that the pace of diabetes growth can be halted if an allopathic drug is integrated with BGR-34, a herbal formulation enriched with antioxidant properties that do not allow bad cholesterol to accumulate in the heart arteries.
To find the efficacy of BGR-34 with allopathic drugs, the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) doctors gave the Ayurveda formulation and allopathic medicine glibenclamide separately to one group and in combination with another group in the study.
Speaking to the media, the doctors said that the interim findings have stated that the combination group who were given ayurvedic BGR-34 and glibenclamide had more improvement in insulin levels than those given allopathic drugs alone.
It also showed the cholesterol-lowering (cardioprotective) effect. The study also established that BGR-34 improved lipid profile in terms of triglycerides and levels of VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), thus showing that it can be safely taken with synthetic antidiabetic drugs.
Based on herbs like vijaysar, daruharidra, manjisth, gudmar, giloe and methika found in the upper region of the Himalayas, BGR-34 has been prepared after intensive research by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research's two Lucknow-based labs - Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) and National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI).
Recently, a team of scientists from Tehran University had in their separate study concluded that herbal drugs having antioxidant properties can reduce the risk of COVID-19 in diabetic patients.
