      dosa in patients with type 2 diabetes.

AB  - BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Millets are rich source of dietary fibre and non-starchy 
      polysaccharides with low glycaemic index (GI), hence can be used as a therapeutic 
      diet. This study was conducted to estimate the effects of a millet-based dosa 
      (foxtail dosa) compared to a rice dosa for breakfast on postprandial glucose 
      levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: The GI of rice 
      dosa and foxtail millet dosa was estimated. A total of 105 T2DM participants were 
      randomly selected for the study. The participants were on oral hypoglycaemic 
      agents (OHA) and not on insulin. In this study, each individual served as their 
      own control and experimental group. The postprandial increase in blood glucose 
      was compared after a breakfast of rice dosa and millet dosa. Single and paired t 
      test was used to note the change in blood glucose levels and the level of the 
      significance. RESULTS: The GI of foxtail millet dosa was 59.25 and rice dosa was 
      77.96. There was a significant reduction (P<0.001) in the postprandial glucose 
      level of patients who consumed a millet-based dosa when compared to those who 
      consumed a rice-based dosa. No significant reduction was observed in the fasting 
      glucose levels. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that 
      replacing a rice-based breakfast item with a millet-based breakfast item lowers 
      the postprandial blood glucose levels in T2DM patients. Thus, millets may have a 
      protective role in the management of hyperglycaemia. Further studies need to be 
      done in a systematic manner to confirm these findings.
