      <abstract>
        <p>Diabetes has a significant and growing disease burden in every country, 
owing to the global growth in obesity and poor lifestyles. Abroma Augusta Mother tincture as 
add on therapy can give better results in management of Diabetes Mellitus type II, as per the 
Homoeopathic Literature. OBJECTIVE: Primary objective: To study if there is any 
significant difference in the effectiveness of management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus between 
two groups Group A: Abroma Augusta Ø along with Oral Hypoglycaemic Agents (OHA). 
Group     B: Only OHA. Secondary objective: To evaluate the changes in the HbA1c level in 
Type 2 DM patients after the intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø. MATERIALS AND 
METHODS: 46 subjects of Type II DM were included in the study based on convenience 
sampling following inclusion and exclusion criteria. This was pre-test and post-test study of 
HbA1c of patients for 6 months, along with FBS. Intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø was made 
along with their regular OHA. The data was statistically analyzed using unpaired‘t’ test 
RESULT: Table value of t for 45 degrees of freedom is 2.02 at 5% (0.05) level of significance. 
Calculated value of t = 2.48 is greater than the table value at 5% level of significance. After 
the study we saw that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA was more effective in reducing the 
symptoms of the patient as compared to oral hypoglycaemic agents alone. CONCLUSION: 
According to the study, we conclude that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA is effective in 
reducing HbA1c of type 2 DM patients</p>
