Diabetes mellitus is rising to an alarming epidemic level. Pre-diabetes (intermediate hyperglycemia) is a high-risk state for diabetes that is defined by glycemic variables that are higher than normal, but lower than diabetes thresholds. It stems up in persons who are physically inactive, obese, takes more kaphakara medokara abhishyandi ahara. Diabetes if not treated can cause a severe burden on society. The rising prevalence is closely associated with urbanization because of increasing obesity and inclination towards fast food. For pre-diabetic individuals, lifestyle modification is the cornerstone of diabetes prevention. Physical activity and decreased calorie intake can reduce the occurrence of Diabetes. So an attempt was made to find out the efficacy of Amalaki swarasa and haridra churna with madhu in pre-diabetes (borderline diabetes) Key words: Pre-Diabetes, Amalaki, Haridra, Madhu, Borderline Diabetes Mellitus.

It is well established that individuals who have prediabetes either impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) have high risk to develop diabetes. However, it is unclear whether the rate of progression to diabetes is different between these two categories. Lifestyle modification has been recommended for diabetes prevention in these high-risk groups. However, given the differences in their pathophysiology, it is possible that these subtypes of prediabetes condition may have different responses to lifestyle modification. The present review was to summarize the risk of progression to diabetes and the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention for diabetes prevention in individuals who have isolated IGT or isolated IFG or combined. The risk of progression to diabetes is highest in combined IFG and IGT subtype. Individuals who have isolated IFG by the American Diabetes Association criteria (100 to 125 mg/dl) has lower risk of progression to diabetes than those with World Health Organization criteria (110 to 125 mg/dl) and the latter has similar or higher risk of incident diabetes than those with isolated IGT. Lifestyle modification is most effective in individuals with IGT (with or without IFG) but is less effective in those with isolated IFG. In conclusion, The risk of progression to diabetes and the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention for diabetes prevention are disparate between prediabetes subtypes. Given the paucity of diabetes prevention data in individuals with isolated IFG, more studies dedicated to this subtype is required.

BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes increasingly rapidly. Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of a diabetes prevention program (DPP) in lifestyle modifications which can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes among individuals at-risk. Digital DPPs have the potential to utilize technology, in conjunction with behavior change science, to prevent prediabetes on a national and global scale OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a digital DPP (VP Transform for Prediabetes) on weight loss and physical activity among participants who had completed twelve months of the program. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of retrospective data of adults with prediabetes who were enrolled in VP Transform for Prediabetes for 12 months of the program. The program incorporates interactive mobile computing, remote monitoring, an evidence-based curriculum, behavior tracking tools, health coaching and online peer support to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Analysis included data that were collected at baseline and after 12 months of the VP Transform for Prediabetes DPP. RESULTS The sample (N=1,095) comprised people with prediabetes who completed 12 months of the VP Transform for Prediabetes program. Participants included 67.7% female, with a mean age of 53.6 (SD 9.75). On average, participants decreased their weight by 10.9 pounds (5.5%) and increased their physical activity by 91.2 minutes per week. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that VP Transform for Prediabetes is effective at preventing type 2 diabetes through significant reduction in body weight and increase of physical activity. Furthermore, these results suggest that the DPP remains effective 12 months after beginning the program. A prospective, controlled clinical study is warranted to validate these findings.
