ABSTRACT
Diabetes is becoming one of the major killers of mankind after cancer and AIDS. Despite tremendous strides in modern medicine and availability of insulin therapy, restorations to normoglycemia without adverse consequences have not yet been achieved. Diabetes is found to be multi-factorial from the pathogenic point of view. Apart from conventional therapy, naturopathy and holistic approaches, dietary interventions have a profound role in the control of insulin resistant syndrome. Meeting adequate dietary requirements through a balanced diet with proper calorie intake are found effective to reduce the incidence of insulin resistance syndrome. Current research highlights on the proper distribution of calories through four times meal amongst rural and urban dwellers so as to achieve the maximum benefits of dietary interventions in the diabetics of Kharagpur 1 and 2 blocks. The RCT carried out on 200 volunteers showed that the diet consisting of 35% calorie in breakfast, 20% in lunch, 15% in evening snacks and 30% in dinner gave best results in improving the blood-gluco-lipid profile of the experimental group in contrast to control group who received 40% calories in breakfast, 30% in lunch and 30% in dinner. The research warrants further trials on large populations on long-term basis.
