Need for study :They can be largely avoided by taking simple precautions and proper control of the disease which would certainly make it possible to lead a normal, active and healthy life. Objectives :The main aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of holy basil leaves in reducing the blood sugar level among the Type II Diabetic patients residing at urban areas of Choolai, Chennai Methodology: Research approach : Quantitative Approach Research design :Experimental design, pre test, post test design. The conceptual frame work used for this study modified Model of King Goal Attainment Nursing Theory The present study was an experimental study. Population : The target population of the study are the clients (Male and Female) with Type II Diabetes Mellitus between 40-60 years of age.. Sampling technique :The research design was pre-test post-test control design. Sample size : The sample size comprises of 60 clients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. (30 Control group, 30 Experimental group) Data collection procedure :By using simple random sampling technique 60 type-II diabetic clients between 40-60 years of age were selected (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group) as study samples. The tool developed and used for data collection was structured interview and observation schedule. Pre test Fasting blood sugar was measured in experimental and control group before intervention. 50 ml of holy basil leaves extract was given to experimental group for 15 days daily in the morning after breakfast by the researcher in person. Post Test Fasting blood sugar levels were assessed using glucometer. Data analysis : The Data were analysed by Descriptive analysis such as mean, standard deviation, Frequency and percentage for demographic variables and Inferential analysis like chi- square test, paired t – test, independent t – test were used to analyse clinical variables. Study results : The pre and post assessment of blood sugar level in experimental group the result shows that the mean value of pre test is 172.27 and post test is 140.23 . In the difference of mean value (32.033) and SD (11.467) value there is increase of 11.467 SD value when comparing the pre and post test blood sugar level .t=15.301 with df=29 and the p value is 0.000 it is statistically significant. Discussion: The mean blood sugar level of experimental group is 172.27 in pre test and 140.23 in post test .The mean difference is 32.04. but in the control group the mean difference is only 1.94 with 95% CI. ( t= 15.301,P =0.001) . Hence the hypothesis was proved.
