The author very much interested to select this topic because Diabetes prevalence has been rising more rapidly in middle – and low – income countries. In 2016, an estimated 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose in 2012. Almost half of all deaths attributable to high blood glucose occur before the age of 70 years. WHO estimates that diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in 2016. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. Then this topic is submitted to the screening committee members and approved from IEC committee members. The aim of this study is to standardize the Siddha Medical diagnostic tool Manikkadai Nool for Madhumegam patients by calculating the wrist circumference. For the clinical study 1000 cases (OPD) were for the observational as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the informed consent were obtained from the patients. Case sheet proforma were maintained for 1000 cases. The author took the study in his OPD under the guidance of his department HOD and other faculties. Laboratory investigations also were carried out during the study. Manikkadainool and Naadi of the patients were evaluated in the study. In this study, following data were observed and discussed for the 1000 cases. Among 1000 cases, 31% of cases were between 41 – 50 years. No association between Nool and Age group. 51.5% cases were Male. No association between Nool and Gender. On measure of Right hand wrist circumference in finger breadth space (fbs) 17.4% of cases had 9.00 fbs. • 55% cases had only Diabetes Mellitus -with 9.6% cases had 9 fbs. • 45% cases had associated diseases like Hypertension -with 6.2% cases had 9 fbs, Diabetic complications (Neuropathy -with 2.1% cases had 9 fbs, Nephropathy – with 0.4% cases had 8 ¼ fbs, and Retinopathy –with 1.1% cases had 9 ½ fbs) Periarthritis –with 0.9% cases had 8 ¾ fbs. • On measure of Left hand wrist circumference in finger breadth space (fbs), 19.2 % of cases had 9.00 fbs. • 55% cases had only Diabetes Mellitus - with 8.2 % cases had 8 ½ fbs. • 45% cases had associated diseases like Hypertension – with 6% cases had 9 ½ fbs, Diabetic complications (Neuropathy -with 2.1% cases had 9 ½ fbs, Nephropathy – with 0.4% had 10 fbs, and Retinopathy –with 0.8% cases had 9 fbs and 9 ½ fbs) Periarthritis –with0.7% cases had 9 fbs and 9 ¾ fbs. 27.6% cases had PithaVaatham Naadi for Diabetes Mellitus. 22% cases had PithaVaatham Naadi for Diabetes Mellitus Associated with Hypertension. 2.9% cases had VaathaPitham for Diabetes Mellitus Associated with Periarthritis. 7.4% cases had KabhaPitham Naadi for Diabetic Neuropathy. 2.2% cases had Vaatha Kabham Naadi for Diabetic Retinopathy. 1% cases had KabhaVaatham Naadi for Diabetic Nephropathy. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the Siddha diagnostic procedure Manikkadai nool and Naadi differentiates the patients of Madhumegam from the healthy persons. The Manikkadai nool measures explain the different finger units for Mathumegam (Diabetes mellitus) and with its associated diseases with complications. This may helpful in diagnosis of Madhumegam with low cost effective and would be measure in any time. Naadi would helpful in organise and summarise the disease as per stages and diagnosing on helpful with wrist circumfernce. This study would provide the documentary data of wrist circumference and naadi of Madhumegam and its associated diseases with its complications for future reference to do effectice research on anthropometric measure. It studies like this help in validating the diagnosis in traditional systems and the ambiguity arising due to any differences can be minimized.
