Abstract
To enjoy all the five senses given by God is a privilege and we experience it in a unique pleasurable manner. Increase in the blood sugar levels can be harmful to various organs of our body like kidneys, brain, our nervous system, etc. Hence it is essential that our body’s blood sugar levels should be controlled. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fenugreek on the blood sugar levels of Type 2 diabetic patients. Using convenient sampling 60 samples were selected (30 in the experimental and 30 in the control group). Structured interview was used to collect the demographic data of the patients. Fasting blood sugar level was checked by glucometry. The fasting blood sugar level was tested on the first day. The subjects in the experimental group were given 10 grams of fenugreek soaked in hot water overnight on empty stomach for 14 days while the subjects in the control group were continuing their routine treatment. The post test fasting blood sugar level was assessed on the fifteenth day. The average fasting blood sugar level decreased from mg/dl in the pre-test to 172 mg/dl in the post-test with a mean difference of 30.5 in the experimental group. The paired t value was 4.9 which were significant at 0.01 levels. Comparison of the experimental and control group showed there was a significant decrease in the blood sugar levels of the experimental group (p<0.01) Thus the study concluded that fenugreek was effective in reducing the blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetic patients.
