Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| According to Random Blood Sugar (RBS) levels compared at baseline and at the end of the study i.e., after 1 year in Group A (centesimal group), out of 30 patients, only 14 patients showed RBS levels within the normal range, 13 patients above the normal range, and 3 cases were dropped out, whereas, in Group B (fifty millesimal group), 22 patients showed RBS levels within normal range and only 6 patients above normal range and 3 cases were dropped out. Unpaired t-test was applied and p-value =0.0009 was obtained. Since the p-value < 0.05, the average of Group B's population is considered to be not equal to the average of Group-A's population. In other words, there is a statistically significant difference between RBS values in two treatment groups i.e., the Centesimal group and Fifty millesimal group. Fifty millesimal group (Group B) is effective in the treatment of Type II Diabetes Mellitus as compared to the Centesimal group (Group A). | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Out of 60 patients, the most commonly indicated homoeopathic similimum medicine was Sulphur, Calcarea carbonica and Thuja occidentalis. In group A, most commonly indicated potency was 200 Centesimal, and in group B, in 50 percent of cases up to second fifty millesimal potency was most commonly indicated. The SF-36 questionnaire showed subjective improvement in all the domains after treatment in both groups. Group B (fifty millesimal group) was found to be more effective than Group A (centesimal group). | — |
