Abstract

The goal of the current study is to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of sunflower seeds in lowering type 2 diabetic patients' "FBS" Fasting Blood Glucose levels. In this study, 60 patients—24 women and 36 men—were separated into the case and control groups. Chlorogenic acids 40% at "500 mg/day" of treatment for "3 months" on various measurements of "Height, Weight, and Blood pressure" as well as biochemical measurements of "Cholesteatoma, Tri -glyceride, Low-Density-Lipoprotein [LDL], High-Density-Lipoproteins [HDL], as well as Fasting-Blood-sugar [FBS]" in those people who were on record at The body weight and Body Mass Index of those who consumed sunflower seed extract decreased positively and quickly (BMI). Blood glucose levels dropped from 197.4 mg per deciliter to 120 mg per deciliter in the patient group while decreasing from 175.5 mg per deciliter to 130.9 mg per deciliter in the control group as a result of lower blood cholesterol levels. It is determined that sunflower extraction aids in egulating "body weight; fat mass; and lipid profile" and that it can be used as a natural remedy for diabetics to reduce their blood sugar levels. By raising HDL levels, it also helps to maintain heart health.
