Aim of present study was to see the effect of GINGER (Zingiberofficinale )on fasting blood sugar and glycatedhaemoglobin level in patients of Diabetes mellitus. Selected patients were divided randomly in two groups each comprised of 50 patients. GROUP I – These patients were taken conventional treatment and served as the control group.

Ginger powder mainly used in Ayurvedic practice is beneficial for overall health, it is suitable for Diabetes mellitus and as an anti-inflammatory compound used in Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid arthritis, so it should be advised as continued therapy in patients of Diabetes mellitus.
