Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic multisystem disease related to abnormal insulin production, impaired insulin utilization, or both. Type II diabetes mellitus is defined as a heterogeneous disorder involving both genetic and environmental factors and it previously called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes. STATEMENT A study to assess the effectiveness of lady’s finger juice in reducing the blood glucose level among clients with type II diabetes mellitus in selected villages at Kanyakumari district. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the pre and post test blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus in experimental and control group. 2. To determine the effectiveness of lady’s finger juice on blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus in experimental and control group. 3. To find out the association between the pre test blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus with their selected demographic variables such as age, sex, occupation, food pattern and duration of diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: The research design adopted for this study was true experimental design. The sample size was 60 and was drawn through simple random sampling technique. The feasibility of the study and the refinement of the tool were assessed through pilot study. The blood glucose level among Type II diabetes mellitus clients was assessed by using glucometer. The data collection for the main study was done from 01-04-2016 to 30-04-2016. Lady’s finger juice was given for experimental group. Post test was done after intervention period. The data gathered were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical method. FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: In Experimental group the mean score on blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus was 153 in pre test and 128.20 in post test. The paired ‘t’ value was 13.76 which is significant at p > 0.05. In Control group the mean score on blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus was 147.63 in pre test and 154.06 in post test. The paired ‘t’ value was 3.99 which is significant at p > 0.05. It shows that lady’s finger juice was effective in reducing the blood glucose level. The mean score on blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus in Experimental group was 128.20 in post test and 154.06 in Control group post test. The estimated value was 6.93 which is significant at P> 0.05. It shows that lady’s finger juice was effective in reducing the blood glucose level. There is no association between the pre test blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus in experimental group and control group with their selected demographic variables such as age, sex, occupation, food pattern and duration of diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION: This study inference revealed that regular practice of lady’s finger juice could bring about desired reduction in the blood glucose level among clients with Type II diabetes mellitus.
