The dietary contents have a very important role in the management of metabolicsyndrome along with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Indian diet contains a large amount ofcarbohydrates that set off unpredictable blood sugar fluctuations and leads to increased risk ofdiabetic complications. The aim of the present study was to identify the effect of mulberry tea inthe reduction of abnormally high postprandial blood glucose (PPG) levels in T2DM patients.Methods: The study design was follow-up T2DM, 20 diabetic patients were given plain tea(control) and 28 diabetic patients were given mulberry tea (test subject) to measure the effect ofmulberry tea on fasting blood glucose and PPG levels. Fasting blood glucose samples were collectedafter a standard breakfast. The PPG levels were recorded after the consumption of 70 ml tea alongwith 1 teaspoon of sugar after 90 min in all 48 patients.Results: Fasting blood glucose levels in control and test group samples were found to be178.55± 35.61 and 153.50± 48.10, respectively. After the consumption of plain tea and mulberrytea, the PPG values were recorded as 287.20± 56.37 and 210.21± 58.73, respectively. A highlysignificant (p<0.001) change in the PPG level was observed in response to mulberry tea in all the testpatients compared with control. Moreover, the effect size was also found to be very large (1.31).Conclusion: Mulberry tea suppresses postprandial rise of blood glucose levels after 90 min of its consumption.
