Abstract

Millets are rich source of dietary fibre and non-starchy polysaccharides with low glycaemic index (GI), The
millets such as Peral, Foxtail, Bayrnyard, Little and Koda millets are commonly used millets with low glycemic index, hence can be used as a therapeutic diet. This study was conducted to estimate the effects of a millet idli (Peral, Foxtail, Bayrnyard, Little and Koda millets) compared to a rice idli for breakfast on postprandial glucose levels in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The GI of rice idli and millet idlies (Peral, Foxtail, Bayrnyard, Little and Koda millet) were estimated. A total of 2205 subjects were screened and 634 of them detected as T2DM . 200 T2D were selected from detected diabetes by purposive random sampling for the study. The participants were on oral hypoglycemic 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 level was compared after having a breakfast of millet and rice idlies . One way ANOVA were used to note the change in blood glucose
levels and the level of the significance. Perason correlation coefficient is used to show the significance of Glycemic index on
post prandial blood glucose levels. The Gl of the millet and rice idli revealed that, fox tail millet has (49.64) was found to be
the lowest followed by barnyard millet (50), small millet (52),pearl millet (55), koda millet (58) and rice idli (77.96). There was
a significant reduction (p= 0.000) in the postprandial glucose level of patients who consumed a millet idli - Foxtail millet (p=
0.000); Koda millet (p= 0.000); Barnyard millet (p= 0.000); pearl millet (p= 0.000); Little millet (p= 0.000). There is significant
decrease of blood glucose levels in diabetes consumed millet idli when compared to rice idli. No significant reduction was
observed in the fasting glucose levels. There is significant correlation between variables used for the analysis with p value,
0.000 which is lesser than that of 0.05 confirms, glycemic index has effect on blood glucose levels. Intake of food that have
less GI tend to decrease postprandial blood glucose levels. The results suggested that replacing a rice-based breakfast item
with a millet-based breakfast item lowers the postprandial blood glucose levels in T2D patients. Thus, millets may have a
protective role in the management of hyperglycemia. Further studies need to be done in all millets and whole cereals in a
systematic manner to confirm these findings.
