The tools used in the study was Socio-Demographic Profile, Clinical Profile, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Neuropathy disability score. Result: Result of the study depicts that in experimental group (0%) subjects were having good PSQI score whereas only (3.3%) subjects were having good PSQI score in control group. (15%) subjects belong to experimental group whereas (30%) subjects were having average PSQI score in control group. Majority of subject (35%)were having poor PSQI in experimental group whereas (16.7%) subjects were having poor PSQI score in control group and there were (10%) subjects in experimental group and (13.3%) subjects in control group were having mild Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy. In experimental group (33.3%) and in control group (50%) subjects were having moderate Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy.
