This study was carried out with an aim:-‘To Conduct a Randomised Controlled (Upashayatmaka) Trial on the role of Mamajjaka capsule in the management of Madhumeha (DM type-2)’. In this study total 110 patients of Diabetes were selected from NIA hospital and randomly divided into two groups. Group A (Control group) comprise 54 patients were administered with Tab. Metformin and dose was 500mg tablet 1 BD before meals as advised according to allopathic consultant. Group B (Trial group) comprise 56 patients were administered with Cap. Mamajjaka, dose: 500 mg Capsule 2 BD, before 30 min. of meal with lukewarm water. Total duration trial was 100 days. Results obtained in subjective and objective parameters were analysed for the statistical significance by adapting paired T test and unpaired T test. The study revealed that Group-B was found to be more effective in bringing symptomatic relief and Group-A was found to be more effective in improving biochemical markers in the patients of Madhumeha.
