Abstract
It is of interest to assess the effect of Aloe vera juice on type 2 diabetes mellitus. Non-probability convenience sampling techniques was used to obtain sample of fifty type 2 diabetic patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria. Blood sugar level was assessed by using glucometer before and after consumption of Aloe vera juice. The average post-test score in the experimental group 177.43 (Standard deviation 17.64) was significantly lower than the average post-test score in control group 128.76 (Standard deviation 27.50). Unpaired ‘t’ value 7.2926. It shows there is a significant difference found in the post-test scores on the level of blood glucose. Chi square analysis showed that there was no correlation between patients with demographic variables except age, occupation, smoking habit, habit of alcoholism and family history.
