Diabetes was induced in Wistar rats with STZ. Animals were divided into four groups, while one normal control, one diabetic control and the remaining two groups were treated with bamboo shoot (Muia) and chakhwi - a prepared food ingredient. After 24 hours of Diabetes induction by STZ at dose of 65 mg/kgbw intraperitoneally , treatment was started for 14 days with sample Muia and Chakhwi on rats of group III and IV. The Experiment was carried out through few biochemical estimations such as serum cholesterol, urea, triglyceride and creatinine. Study showed a significant fall in blood glucose level and other supporting parameters with the treatment of Muia and Chakhwi. Further, Muia treated diabetic rats also showed marked improvement in body weight in compare to diabetic control. Treatment with Muia, and Chakhwi shows significant reduction in blood glucose level with preventing loss of body weight compare to diabetic control.
