Data on drug dose reduction, FBS, and PPBS level testing performed at 2 weeks intervals are shown in Table 4. Statistically obtained results on clinical symptomatology as per scoring pattern, and the overall effect of therapy has been placed in Tables Tables55 and and66.

Statistical analysis of the effect of therapy
The obtained data were analyzed statistically in terms of mean (x), standard deviation and standard error and paired t-test. Paired t-test was carried out at P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001 levels. The obtained results were interpreted as:
P > 0.05 - Insignificant
P < 0.05 - Significant
P < 0.01 or < 0.001 - Highly significant.
