A herbal powder containing guar gum, methi, tundika and meshasringi was administered to 30 control and 30 type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus patients for a month. Total serum cholesterol and its fractions eg, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoproteins, very low density lipoproteins and serum triglyceride were determined before and after the trial period. Total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterols were reduced significantly after the therapy. There were no significant changes in high density lipoproteins (HDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) or triglyceride levels. Side-effects eg, mild flatulence and looseness of bowel were noticed in less than 40% cases.
将含有瓜尔豆胶、葫芦巴、刺蒺藜和喜马拉雅紫茉莉的草药粉末给予30名对照患者和30名2型（非胰岛素依赖型）糖尿病患者，为期一个月。在试验期前后测定总血清胆固醇及其组分，如高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白、极低密度脂蛋白和血清甘油三酯。治疗后总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇显著降低。高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、极低密度脂蛋白（VLDL）或甘油三酯水平无显著变化。不到40%的病例出现了副作用，如轻度肠胃胀气和腹泻。
