Studies on random blood sugar (RBS) levels of diabetes mellitus individuals subjected to a biochemical method - o- toluidine method

Abstract

According to Ayurveda diabetes mellitus (Madhumeha) is mainly Kapha dosha. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders with one common manifestation – hyperglycemia. India is one of the main country which is having high % of diabetic patients. According to Ayurveda diabetes mellitus (Madhumeha) can not be completely cured but can be controlled by life style habits, food management and medication. There are two types of Diabetes mellitus: Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T1DM is an autoimmune condition. In people with T1DM, the damaged pancreas doesn’t make Insulin. So, T1DM is known as Insulin-Dependint-Diabetes (IDDM). The most common form of Diabetes is T2DM account for 95% of Diabetes cases in adult. T2DM is also called Non-Insulin- Dependent Diabetes (NIDDM). With T2DM, the pancreas usually produces some Insulin. But either the amount produced Insulin is not enough for the body’s need, or the body’s cells are resistant to it. Insulin resisrance or lack of sensitivity to Insulin. A Random Blood Sugar (RBS) meas that it can be done at any time, under any conditions either fasting or after meals. The RBS test measures the amount of glucose in the blood at any given time of diabetic patient. The reference range of random blood sugar (RBS) is 80-140 mg%.Random Blood Sugar (RBS) levels of 3 diabetic individuals was estimated by O-Toluidine method. Results of O-Toluidine method in relation to Random Blood Sugar (RBS) levels of diabetic individual -A, B and C is 225 mg %, 327 mg % and 272 mg % respectively. RBS levels of diabetic persons B 327 mg % > C272 mg% > A 225 %.
