Abstract: The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Fenugreek Vs Cinnamon on Blood Sugar among Diabetes patients at Sree Mookambika Medical College Hospital, Kulasekharam, Kanyakumari District. The objectives of the study were, 1. To evaluate the blood sugar level before and after taking fenugreek among patients with Type-II diabetes mellitus, 2. To evaluate the blood sugar level before and after taking Cinnamon among patients with type-II diabetes mellitus, 3. To compare the mean difference in blood sugar between fenugreek group and cinnamon group, 4. To test the association between the mean difference in blood sugar and selected factors among patients type-II diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A Conceptual Framework was developed based on the concepts of systems theory. An evaluative approach was adopted to compare the effectiveness of Fenugreek verses Cinnamon on Blood sugar level among Type-II diabetes patients. The study design adopted was an Experimental design, Factorial in nature. The samples were selected purposively and randomly assigned. The sample size was estimated by power analysis prior to the commencement of the study. The effective sample size was 60 in each group. There were totally 120 type-II diabetes patients who participated in the study effectively. A Structured interview cum Observational schedule was used to measure the data. CONCLUSION: Both Fenugreek and Cinnamon were effective in reducing Blood sugar (FBS, PPBS, HBA1C) among Type-II Diabetes Mellitus patients. However, Cinnamon was effective than Fenugreek, because it was less influenced by other factors. Therefore people can use both Fenugreek and Cinnamon to reduce blood sugar. However, Cinnamon carries a better advantage. Type-II diabetic patients using Fenugreek must be encouraged to reduce stress, maintain good sleep, reduce harmful personal habits and have regular health check up and do regular exercise. Also, Type-II diabetic patients taking cinnamon must be encouraged to take their antidiabetic drug regularly.
