The objectives of the study were, To compare the pre and post FBS in relation to administering roasted fenugreek seed powder among NIDDM patients in experimental group, To compare the mean difference FBS among NIDDM patients in experimental and control group, To find the association between the mean difference in FBS in relation to administering of roasted fenugreek seed powder and demographic variables among NIDDM patients in experimental group. The research hypothesis were: H1: There will be a significant difference in pre and post FBS in relation to RFSP among NIDDM patients in experimental group. H2: There will be a significant difference in mean difference fasting blood sugar among NIDDM patients in experimental and control group. H3: There will be a significant association between mean difference in FBS in relation to RFSP and back ground factors among NIDDM patients in experimental group. The investigator organized the review of literature under three sections as follows, studies related to fenugreek seed, studies related to fenugreek and blood sugar, studies related to NIDDM on selected variables.
