It also clarifies the limitation of the champaign, the implications and recommendations given up for divers(prenominal) aras of nursing practice, nursing education, nursing judgeship and nursing research.DISCUSSIONDiabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycaemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both (WHO). Diabetes has emerged as a major wellnessc are problem in India. It is estimated that 40 million persons with diabetes in India in 2007 and this number is predicted to rise to almost 70 million people by 2025. It is estimated that every fifth person with diabetes will be an Indian.The real burden of the disease is however due to its associated complications which lead to increase morbidity and mortality. Rap id urbanization and industrialization sire produced advancement on the social and economic front in developing countries such as India which have resulted in dramatic lifestyle changes leading to lifestyle related diseases. This transition from a traditional to modern lifestyle, consumption of diets rich in fat and calories combine with a high direct of mental stress has compounded the problem further.( International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2007)The turn in remove was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of ivy gourd vine leaves mill administration in decline of melodic line glucose aim among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.The data collected for the assume were analysed statistically and discussed below found on the objectives. The sample size was 80.1. Demographic variables of subjects on fall glucose take among type-2 diabetes mellitus patientsThe distribution of demographic variables of 80 subjects are as follows, legal age 43(53.75per cent) are in the age g roup between 46 to 55 years, regarding sex majority 47 (58.75per cent) were to male, regarding religion 68(85per cent) believing in Hinduism, regarding educational status 53(66.25per cent) most of them are secondary and above qualified ,regarding occupation 47(58.75per cent) most of them are employed, and regarding family periodic income 41(51.25per cent) of them has an income between Rs.6501 and 7500 ,and related to marital status 75(93.75per cent)are married, related to type of family 53(66.25per cent) are keep in nuclear family, regarding dietetical pattern 76(95per cent) of them are non-vegetarian, related to un sinewy practices of client 21(26.25per cent) of them has the bad habits of smoking, related to healthy life style practices 74(92.5per cent) had not quest any healthy life style practices, regarding BMI 35(43.75per cent) of them are having BMI more than 27 related to family history 70(87.5per cent)of them had no signifi enkindlet family history and related to number of hospitalisation due to illness 73(91.25per cent) has no history of hospitalization2. The first objective of the have a bun in the ovenulate was to assess the pre analyze and locate foot race snag glucose level among type-2 diabetes mellitus patientsThe findings of the present study revealed that most of the 80 subjects pre try out abstain blood glucose level was above 151 mg/dl for 34(42.5 per cent). The pretest blank space prandial blood glucose level for 34(42.5 per cent) was upto170 mg/dl.On the fourteenth solar mean solar sidereal daytimelightlight post test self-control blood glucose value analysis shows that 42(52.5per cent) subjects has a blood glucose level upto 130. The post prandial blood glucose level for 69(83.75per cent) are in the range upto 170 mg/dl.On the twenty-eighth day post test fasting blood glucose level analysis shows that 67(83.75per cent) has a blood glucose level upto 130 mg/dl. The post prandial blood glucose level for 77(96.25 per cent ) subjects was upto 170mg/dl.3. The second objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of common ivy gourd leaves mill administration on blood glucose levelDr. Julian Whitaker (2011) conducted a study on effectiveness of common ivy gourd in reduction of blood glucose at Rajasthan the results showed that in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 60 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic subjects (not taking any medications for glucose control) received either 1,000 mg of ivy gourd extract, or a placebo. Those taking Ivy gourd extract experienced better blood sugar control, with a 15.6 per cent decrease in fasting blood glucose level.Mean score of pretest fasting blood glucose level is 145.5 and mean score of pretest post prandial blood glucose level was 177.5. Mean score of fourteenth day post test fasting blood glucose level was 131.13 and mean fourteenth day post test post prandial blood glucose level was 157.88. Mean score of 28th day post test post prandial blood glucose level was 119.4 and post prandial blood glucose level was 144.11.The similarity of pretest fasting and 14th day post test fasting blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 16.282 is signifi stooget at The semblance of pretest fasting and 28th day post test fasting blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 20.794 is significant at The comparison of pretest post prandial and 14th day post test post prandial blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 21.912 is significant at The comparison of pretest post prandial and 28th day post test post prandial blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 28.183 is significant at The comparison of 14th day fasting and 28th day post test fasting blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 11.961 is significant at The comparison of 14th day post prandial and 28th day post test post prandial blood glucose level, the computed value of t is 11.961 is significant at The data shows that there is a significant redu ction of blood glucose level after the administration of Ivy gourd leaves powder. The longer the stream of administration of Ivy gourd shows more significant effectiveness in reduction of blood glucose level. Thus it reveals that the 28th day of administration of Ivy gourd is more significantly effective than the 14th day of administration of Ivy gourd leaves powder.3.The third objective of the study was to associate the demographic variables with posttest blood glucose level .Cruickshank (2007) stated that the global prevalence of diabetes for all age group is estimated to be 2.8%.
