| The objective of this study was to formulate dehydrated green leafy tablets using drum stick leaves followed by supplementation study and to find out the anti diabetic property on the selected diabetic patients. The results showed that post prandial blood glucose of experimental group initially was 210 mg/dl and it reduced to 191, 174 and 150 mg/dl respectively after the first, second and third month of supplementation. In control group post prandial blood glucose level was reduced to 169, 167, 163 mg/dl respectively, after first, second and third month of study from the initial value of 179 mg/dl. Glycated hemoglobin in experimental group was initially 7.81 and decreased to 7.4 per cent after the supplementation period; but in the control group it decreased to 7.36 from the initial value of 7.38 per cent.
