Abstract

ABSTRACT newlineINTRODUCTION newlineDiabetes is a chronic condition in that Type II diabetes is the most newlineprevalent, generally affecting adults, diabetes frequently reduces HDL newline(good) cholesterol levels while raising triglycerides and LDL (bad) newlinecholesterol levels.

Curry leaves can prevent several diseases, newlineincluding type II diabetes and heart disease, because they are rich in newlineantioxidants like beta-carotene ,also rich in fiber and vitamin C. newlineSTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM newline A study to assess the effectiveness of curry leaves powder newlineconsumption on blood glucose and lipid profile among type II diabetic newlinepatients with mild elevated lipid profile at selected rural areas at Tiruvallur newlinedistrict newlineOBJECTIVES: newline1. To determine the effectiveness of curry leaves powder on reducing newlineblood glucose and lipid profile among the clients with Type II newlinediabetes with mild elevated lipid level in the experimental group. newline2. To compare the posttest level of blood glucose and lipid profile newlinebetween the experimental and control group newlineRESEARCH METHODOLOGY: newlineA Quasi experimental research design was used to assess the newlineeffectiveness of curry leaves powder among type II diabetes patients with newlinemild elevated lipid profile. After obtaining permission from the village newlinepresident , the investigator selected 60 patients with type II diabetes with newlineelevated lipid profile out of 60 samples, 30 belongs to the experimental newlinegroup, and 30 belongs to control group. who met the inclusive criteria by newlineNon-probability purposive sampling techniques The investigator newlineintroduced and explained the purpose of the study to the participants and newlineobtains the written informed consent.
