The epistemological approach is quantitative, probabilistic or positivistic. The study design corresponds to that of a therapeutic experimental epidemiological study (therapeutic clinical trial) with prospective temporality. Forty–eight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were studied. The 48 patients were randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental groups and one control group. Each group was made up of 16 patients. The first experimental group was given <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em> (twelve dry leaves of <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em> and 500 ml of hot water); pour the 500 ml of hot water into a container and add the twelve dry leaves of <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em>; take 250 ml in the morning and 250 ml at night); the second experimental group was given <em>Cinnamomum verum</em> (two g of dry leaves of <em>Cinnamomum verum</em> and 500 ml of hot water; pour the 500 ml of hot water into a container and add two g of dry leaves of <em>Cinnamomum verum</em>; take 250 ml in the morning and 250 ml at night); and the control group was given the Sil–Norboral allopathic treatment (Glibenclamide 5 mg/Metformin 1000 mg) + Janumet (Sitagliptin 50 mg/Metformin 850 mg). In ascending numerical order, the arithmetic means of the hematic glucose values ​​corresponded to the following treatments: <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em> (84.06 mg/100mL); <em>Cinnamomum verum</em> (88.63mg/100mL); and Sil–Norboral (Glibenclamide 5 mg/Metformin 1000 mg) + Janumet (Sitagliptin 50 mg/Metformin 850 mg) (122.25 mg/100mL). The One–Way Analysis of Variance reported a value of F= 56.03 with a value of <em>p</em>= 0.0000, which indicates a statistically significant difference between a pair or between more than one pair of arithmetic means. Dunnett's multiple comparisons test showed statistically significant differences between the treatment with the medicinal plant <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em> and the allopathic treatment Sil–Norboral + Janumet: <em>p</em>= 0000. Likewise, Dunnett's multiple comparisons test showed a statistically significant difference between the treatment with the medicinal plant <em>Cinnamomum verum</em> and the allopathic treatment Sil–Norboral + Janumet: <em>p</em>= 0.0000. It is concluded that <em>Cyamopsis tetragonolobus L.</em> is, from a numerical and not a statistical point of view, the best hypoglycemic agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.</p> ER -
