Abstract

Prediabetes is a condition of hyperglycemia with Glycated Hemoglobin in the range of 5.7% - 6.4%, Fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels between 100 and 125 mg/dl and Post Prandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels between 140 and 200 mg/dl. Prediabetes is the precursor stage before Diabetes Mellitus, in which not all of the symptoms required to diagnose diabetes are present, but blood sugar is abnormally high. The modification of one’s lifestyle should be the first aim to restrict such problems, beside this prime objective, some medication which is safe and efficacious to be introduced. Management of Prediabetes, includes oral hypoglycemic drugs and some diet regimens including improved Life style. So, a clinical study with 30 patients has been conducted on Prediabetes with ‘Kodrava’ and ‘Mandua’ in such 2 groups of treatment. The two drugs are carrying such properties which acts in Samprapti vighatana (prevent pathogenesis) of the disease. It can be seen that there is statistically highly significant difference (p0.005) is observed in other parametric and non – parametric parameters such as Karapaddaha, Mukhkanthatalushosha, Alasya, Prabhootmutrata, Pipasadhikya, Diastolic Blood Pressure, PPBS and weight. On Comparative study of Physiological parameters in both the Groups Group A (Kodrava) was found to be more effective than Group B (Mandua).
