Abstract

Chronic fatigue in diabetic patients can be the outcome of protein deficiency. Plant based protein is closer to nature and bodily acceptable, hence we chose to assess plant-based protein “Balya Protex Powder” over whey protein. A prospective, multicentre, post-market study was conducted in India. Patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus aged 18 years and above were included in this study. All patients adhered to the Comprehensive Diabetic Care (CDC) Program. Comparative data of change in fatigue score was collected retrospectively from type 2 diabetes mellitus patients assigned a low carbohydrate low calorie diet for 90 days. A total of 101 patients were included in this study, 50 patients consumed the Balya Protex Powder whilst 51 did not consume the Balya Protex powder whilst adhering to the CDC program. Weight of the patients decreased by 7.92% and 5.52% in the Balya Protex Powder consumption and Balya Protex Powder non-consumption group, respectively. Body mass index decreased by 5.93% and 5.18% in the Balya Protex Powder consumption and Balya Protex Powder non-consumption group, respectively. Abdomen girth decreased by 8.39% and 4.67% in the Balya Protex Powder consumption and Balya Protex Powder non-consumption group, respectively. Weakness grade decreased by 83.69% and 47.61% in the Balya Protex Powder consumption and Balya Protex Powder non-consumption group, respectively. All patients showed significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, however patients in the subgroup who were taking 30 gm of Balya Protex Powder daily showed 50% greater reduction in chronic fatigue score. It can be concluded that Balya Protex Powder consumption leads to good glycemic control with reduced fatigue in diabetic patients whilst adhering to the CDC program.
