Diabetes mellitus is a common non communicable disorder of the developing countries. The worldwide prevalence of Diabetes mellitus has arisen dramatically over the past two decades, Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. All forms of diabetes increase the risk of long-term complications. These typically develop after many years, but may be the first symptom in those who have otherwise not received a diagnosis before that time. The research approach selected for the study is Quasi experimental research design [ one group pre and post test with control group ]. 60 patients were selected through Nonprobability - Convenient Sampling Technique. In that 30 were assigned as experimental and 30 were assigned as control group. The tool developed and used for data collection was structured interview and observation schedule. First data was collected from experimental group and then followed by control group. Pre test fasting and post prandial blood sugar was measured in experimental and control group before intervention. 25 gm of sprouted fenugreek seeds was administered in early morning before breakfast for clients in experimental group for 28 days. The conceptual framework based on modified J.M.Kenny's open system model. The collected data were analysed based on the above mentioned objectives using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study showed that there was a significant (P<0.001) reduction in blood glucose level after administering sprouted fenugreek seeds in experimental group.
