Chandigarh, March 4

A recent study by Chitkara University hinted that Ayurvedic medicine is highly effective in treating diabetes and is a better treatment option. Researcher Dr Ravinder Singh, Dr Thakur Gurjeet Singh and their team from Chitkara College of Pharmacy, Chitkara University, conducted Phase IV clinical trials on a study group of 100 diabetic patients.

The first group was given an allopathic medicine Sitagliptin and the other was provided with Ayurvedic medicine BGR-34.

According to the study, the baseline value of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients at the start of the trial was 8.499%, but after four weeks of taking the Ayurvedic medicine, it reduced to 8.061%. After eight weeks, the value came down to 6.56 per cent, and after 12 weeks, it reached 6.27 per cent, said Dr Ravinder. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
