Challenges in lifestyle, such as increasesin energy intake and decreasesin physical activity are causing overweight and obesity leading to epidemic increases in type II Diabetes Mellitus. The research approach used for this study was evaluative approach and the research design was true experimental design. 60 patients with type II diabetes, 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group were selected for this study by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of self-structured interview schedule. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square, paired ‘t’ test) were used to analyse the data and to test the hypotheses. In the experimental group,the pre-test mean score was 2.966, mean percentage was 59% and standard deviation was 1.129 and in post-testmean score was 2.533, mean percentage was 50.66% and standard deviation was 1.074 with effectiveness of 8.34% and paired‘t’ test value of t=3.971,which was statistically significant (p<0.05) which is an evidence ofthe effectiveness of Amla juice in reducing blood glucose level. Comparison of blood glucose levels in experimental and control groups, shows that the value is statistically highly significant, as was observed from the unpaired ‘t’ test value of 13.39 with P value of <0.05, which is an evidence indicatingthe effect of Amla juice in reducing postprandial blood glucose levels. The resultsfound that the administration of Amla juice did have aneffect in reducing blood glucose level in the experimental group. By comparing the findings of pre-test and post test between the experimental group and the control group,the effect was identified (assessed). The study concluded that the Amlajuice is effective in reducing blood glucose level.

A novel black tea decoction containing vanadate has successfully replaced insulin in a rat model of insulin-dependent diabetes but is untested in non-insulin-dependent diabetic animals. A tea-vanadate decoction (TV) containing 30 or 40 mg sodium orthovanadate was administered by oral gavage to two groups of Zucker diabetic fatty rats and a conventional water vehicle containing 30 or 40 mg of sodium orthovanadate to two others. In the latter group receiving the 30-mg dose, vanadate induced diarrhea in 50% of the rats and death in 10%. In contrast, TV-treated rats had no incidence of diarrhea and no deaths. Symptoms were more severe in both groups with higher vanadate doses, so these were discontinued. After ~16 weeks, the level of vanadium in plasma and tissue extracts was negligible in a further group of untreated rats but highly elevated after vanadate treatment. Vanadium levels were not significantly different between the TV-treated diabetic rats and the diabetic rats given vanadate in a water vehicle. Over the 115 days of the study, blood glucose levels increased from ~17 to 25 mmol/L in untreated diabetic rats. This was effectively lowered (to <10 mmol/L) by TV treatment. Fasting blood glucose levels were 5, 7, and 20 mmol/L in control (nondiabetic, untreated), TV-treated and untreated diabetic rats, respectively. Rats required treatment with TV for only ~50% of the days in the study. Increase in body mass during the study was significantly lower in untreated diabetic rats (despite higher food intake) than the other groups. Body mass gain and food intake were normal in TV-treated rats. Water intake was 28 mL/rat daily in control rats, 130 mL/rat daily in untreated diabetic rats, and 52 mL/rat daily in TV-treated diabetic rats. Plasma creatinine and aspartate aminotransferase levels were significantly depressed in untreated diabetic rats, and TV treatment normalized this. Our results demonstrate that a novel oral therapy containing black tea and vanadate possesses a striking capacity to regulate glucose and attenuates complications in a rat model of type II diabetes. Key words: diabetes mellitus, tea, glycemia, type II diabetes.

With changing lifestyle and increasing obesity, prevalence of type -II Diabetes Mellitus is increasing in geriatric individuals, who are generally prone to tooth loss. As a result the demand for implants in these patients is also increasing and planning implants has been a challenge to present day dentists. Diabetes Mellitus causes impaired metabolism in general, especially bone metabolism resulting in impaired Osseointegration and poor wound healing. Growing demand of implants in Type II DM patients has initiated research towards implants survival rates. Extensive research till now states - poorly controlled diabetic patients have higher implant failure rates, where as Diabetic patients with controlled blood glucose levels respond to implants in similar way as healthy patients. The present article is one such trail to confirm that type II Diabetes Mellitus is no more contra-indication for Implants till Blood glucose levels are controlled to normal levels. Key words: Type-II Diabetes Mellitus; Two-piece implant; Delayed loading;

This study aims to determine the effectivity of tomato and guava juice combination with guava juice on blood glucose levels of patients with type II diabetes mellitus in the work area of Kuranji Padang Health Center in 2019. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The population of this study was all patients with type II diabetes mellitus in the working area of Kuranji Health Center, Padang City. Sampling is done by purposive sampling. The number of samples was 24 people, divided into treatment groups and a control group. The data obtained were analyzed by two different dependent tests and an independent t-test. The results of statistical tests showed that there were significant differences between the average decrease in fasting blood glucose levels of respondents who were given tomato and guava combination juice with respondents who were given guava juice (p = 0,026). People with diabetes mellitus are expected to consume tomato and guava combination juice as a form of complementary therapy.

In this paper, we discuss the application of the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart for the monitoring blood glucose in type-II diabetes patients. We present tables for the practical use in healthcare. From the simulation results and a real example, the efficiency of the proposed chart in detecting a shift in diabetic level is compared with the existing chart. It is found that the proposed chart provides a strict method to monitor the diabetic levels in diabetes patients. From the simulation results and a real example, it is concluded that the use of the proposed chart in health care issues may reduce the risk of heart disease by monitoring diabetic levels in an effective way.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the biggest health problems in the world. Diabetes mellitus or what is commonly called diabetes (diabetes) is a disease that causes the patient’s body to be unable to control the level of sugar (glycose) in the blood. At this time, many people are doing treatment by using plants as traditional medicine. One of them is cherry leaves. Kersen leaves are believed to reduce blood glucose levels in type II diabetes mellitus sufferers. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Kersen leaf decoction on blood glucose levels in patients with Type II diabetes in the Bontobahari Community Health Center in 2021. The research design used in this study was a quantitative research design with a true-experimental method (pure experiment) with a pre-post design. Test control group design. The sample used was 38 respondents, with a sampling technique that is probability sampling with simple random sampling. Analysis of the data in this study using the Unpaired T test statistical test. The results of the analysis using the unpaired T-test statistical test obtained p-value = 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05), which means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. There is an effect of Kersen Leaf Decoction on Blood Glucose levels in people with Type II Diabetes in the Bontobahari Community Health Center Work Area. 2021.
