Method
Selection of subjects
20 subjects suffering from Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (NIDDM) in the age group of 50 to 70 years were selected on random basis. Best possible efforts were made to include the subjects having similar socioeconomic status. However, qualifications and professional uniformity could not be taken into consideration because of local geographical constraints.
