Multi-target, multi-channel and synergestic properties are the common features in the action of herbal medicines and neutraceuticals, due to variety of constituents within a single natural product. Owing to these properties, herbal medicines and neutraceuticals may be beneficial in dealing with diabetes itself as well as its complications. As diet plays an important role in the overall well-being of an individual and the utilization of wholegrain cereals in food formulations is increasing worldwide, since they are rich in phytochemicals and other nutrients that are useful in treating several health issues. The dietary polyphenols are known to reduce carbohydrate digestibility and regulate postprandial glycemic response. Moreover, polyphenols are known to inhibit glucose absorption and prevent advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation. It is believed that antioxidant activity might be correlated with antidiabetic activity and therefore, it is interesting to see the potential of extracted active ingredients for treating diabetes. Hence the present study has been designed to investigate the efficiency of whole millet extracts on metabolic alterations in glucose metabolism and their antioxidant status.
