Diabetes mellitus is an increasing world health problem; particularly the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has assumed epidemic in developing countries. It is mainly due to the environmental, dietary and lifestyle behavioral factors that control the progress of this disease. Nutrition is often said to be the cornerstone of diabetes care. The nutritional management of diabetes can affect long term health and quality of life. There is increasing evidence that complications related to diabetes are associated with oxidative stress induced by the generation of free radicals. Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L. ) is a common food in Indian cuisine and has been used extensively in folk medicine as a remedy for diabetes. Medicinal value of bitter gourd has been attributed to its high antioxidant properties due in part to phenols, flavonoids, isoflavones, terpenes, anthroquinones and glucosinolates. Hypoglycaemic effect of bitter gourd extracts have been demonstrated in various animal models of insulin resistance.

Diabetes prevalence in India indicates that the epidemic is progressing rapidly across the nation, reaching a total of 62.4 million in 2011. Phase one results of the Indian Council of Medical Research - India Diabetes (ICMR- INDIAB) study concluded that 62.4 million people live with diabetes in India and 77.2 million people are on the threshold, with pre- diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes in Tamil Nadu is 10.4 per cent and the prevalence of pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/ or impaired glucose tolerance) is 8.3 per cent. The American Diabetic Association recommends that individuals with diabetes mellitus must increase the quantity of dietary fiber in their diets to reduce their blood glucose and insulin levels following meals. Qureshi et al ., brought into limelight that soluble fiber such as rice bran plays an important role in decreasing cholesterol and controlling blood glucose levels. Every year, 63 to 76 million tons of rice bran is produced in the world and more than 90 per cent of rice bran is sold as animal feed for throw away price.References

High prevalence of pre diabetes observed in many South Asian countries highlights a potential indicator of further progression of the diabetic epidemic in the region. Average expenditure related to diabetes per person in India is higher. Unless appropriate action is taken, this will place an economic burden, hence a food based approach was planned to reduce the incidence of pre diabetes. The main aim of the study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of bitter gourd (Mormordica charantia L.)among pre diabetics. A single blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over designed intervention study was conducted with freeze dried bitter gourd powder (2.5 g) to find out its hypoglycemic effect. In the first phase Group 1 (AB) started the bitter gourd juice (A) intervention followed by placebo (B), while the Group 2 (BA) started the supplementation with placebo (B) followed by bitter gourd (A). The intervention continued for a period of eight weeks. Between the two arms, 4 weeks were left as wash-out period to minimize the carry-over effect of one phase to the other. Cross over was done after the washout period. The mean initial fasting blood glucose level of pre diabetics in AB group was 110.66 mg/dl which reduced significantly (p<0.01) to 99.86 mg/dl at the end of intervention. In case of BA group the placebo treatment did not bring any appreciable change in FBG where as the bitter gourd treatment was found to have a significant (p<0.01) impact. No serious adverse effects were observed. The present study proved that the consumption of bitter gourd juice prepared with 2.5 g freeze dried bitter gourd powder (50g of the vegetable) reduced the fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol level among the pre diabetics.Keywords
