A sample of 15 cases of post-menopausal diabetic women from OPD of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital were selected, detailed case taking was done and Helonias Dioica in different potencies was administered as per the directions of 5th and 6th editions of Organon of medicine, including its repetition and dosage. FBS and serum HbA1c levels of the individual were measured on the first visit itself. Advices were given to follow a healthy diet. The cases were followed up for 12 weeks to obtain correct changes in serum HbA1c. FBS was analysed in follow ups of every 2 weeks and the repetition of dose, change in potency/medicine was decided based on the overall condition of the patient. After 3 months, HbA1c level was taken and in about 80% of the cases had their HbA1c levels reduced.
