00:00According to the International Diabetes Federation of 2021, more than 4 million Filipinos are diagnosed with diabetes.
00:08And the rise in the number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues.
00:11Aside from suppressing insulin and taking different medicines,
00:14studies and research are continuing to fight against diabetes.
00:18That's why it's important to study to fight against the rise in the number of people diagnosed with diabetes in the country.
00:25We are joined by Professor Daisy Mae Bagawisan, Research Assistant Professor from UP Manila Institute of Medicine
00:33to discuss their Ampalaya tablet and how it will help to prevent diabetes from becoming bitter.
00:40Professor Bagawisan, welcome to Dapat Alam Mo. Good evening.
00:43Good evening and thank you for inviting me to your program.
00:47Professor, what is there in Ampalaya that can help patients with diabetes?
00:53We studied this tablet and we found that it can lower our fasting blood sugar.
01:02Where are these tablets made from? Fruits? Leaves? Roots? What are they used for?
01:08We studied the leaves.
01:10So we used the leaves.
01:12Not the fruits?
01:14No, not the leaves.
01:15Why the leaves?
01:16Because in our study, we found that it has the highest number of bioactive constituents of memordicine
01:23that can lower our blood sugar.
01:25Memordicine is not found in fruits?
01:27Memordicine.
01:29It's not found in fruits?
01:30Based on our study, it is found in fruits, but the concentration is lower.
01:36Compared to the leaves.
01:37In your study and development of Ampalaya tablet, how was it proven to be effective against diabetes?
01:45Our study went through a clinical trial.
01:48There are many phases.
01:50Phase 1, 2, and 3.
01:52The three phases of the study showed that Ampalaya tablet can lower our blood sugar.
02:02So it's effective.
02:03So it's effective?
02:04Yes.
02:05In our time, Susan and I were just adults.
02:07I was forced to eat Ampalaya.
02:09It's delicious in mung bean.
02:11I was forced to eat the fruit.
02:13It's not bitter.
02:17Doc, is it high enough to say that Ampalaya tablet can be used against diabetes or maintenance?
02:23Yes.
02:24Because it went through a clinical trial, it can be registered in the Philippine FDA.
02:31That's great.
02:33Ampalaya has been around the world for a long time.
02:35Why did you come up with this?
02:37Actually, our ancestors have been using it for a long time.
02:41It has folkloric evidence.
02:43Our research team at the Institute of Herbal Medicine studied it based on its folkloric use.
02:52So we gave evidence-based or scientific basis on their folkloric use.
02:59Professor, when can we try this for our diabetes patients?
03:03Can we buy this in the market?
03:05Currently, we have companies that are interested in manufacturing our Ampalaya tablet.
03:12Okay.
03:13How about the Ampalaya tablets that are in the market now?
03:16One of them has been around for 20 years.
03:19I can't remember its name, but it's effective.
03:22Yes.
03:23Our Ampalaya tablet is considered an herbal medicine because it went through a clinical trial.
03:29What we can see in the market now are herbal supplements.
03:34That's right.
03:35With no therapeutic claims.
03:36Yes.
03:37We can say that it has therapeutic claims.
03:39Yes.
03:40Because it went through a clinical trial.
03:42That's great.
03:43Some of our viewers might think that because they have Ampalaya in their house,
03:48they can just make it.
03:50They can just add salt to it.
03:52Is that possible?
03:53Actually, that's possible.
03:54But they might not be able to get the exact concentration
03:58that can lower their sugar levels.
04:03Susan, this is a special request.
04:05Usually, when we have a feast here, we have to taste it first, right?
04:08Yes.
04:09Susan, this is for you.
04:10Oh, it's not bitter.
04:11That's great.
04:12It's not bitter.
04:13Oh, it's a leaf.
04:14Later, later.
04:16It's not bitter.
04:17Thank you so much, Professor Daisy V. Bagawiza from UP Manila Institute of Medicine.
04:25As long as the news is important and timely,
04:27and the stories are funny and true,
04:30Thank you so much, UP!
