The total sample size of the study was 18 non-insulin dependent diabetic respondents. The respondents were divided in two groups (Experimental n =9 and control group n = 9). Indian gooseberry powder and Curcumin powder was supplemented to experimental group diabetic respondents for 45^th days. Fasting blood sugar level of experimental group was significant on 15^th day, 30^th day and 45^th day while post prandial blood sugar level was significant on 30 and 45 day.
