AB  - BACKGROUND: India leads the world with maximum number of diabetes patients being 
      termed as the "diabetes capital of the world." Certain risk factors including 
      unsatisfactory diet, overweight, and a sedentary lifestyle are potentially 
      reversible. Acharayas have widely described the role of diet and activities to 
      control Madhumeha (type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]) along with medications. 
      Habitual consumption of roasted or dry Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) flour, Mudga 
      (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) prevents the 
      manifestation of Prameha. AIM: To assess the clinical effects of dietary 
      interventions and life style modifications in Madhumeha patients. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: Present study was carried out on 56 patients of Madhumeha from S.S. 
      Hospital, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Dietary interventions and life 
      style modifications schedule was prepared based on Ayurvedic principles and 
      patients were advised to follow this regimen. Three consecutive follow-ups were 
      done for 3 months at the interval of one month each. RESULTS: Significant 
      improvement was observed in clinical signs and symptoms along with plasma glucose 
      and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Madhumeha patients after these 
      interventions (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Dietary interventions and life style 
      modifications are two important tools by which adequate glycemic control can be 
      obtained, especially in newly diagnosed T2DM patients and in patients who are on 
      antidiabetic medication, but not properly controlled.
