Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the hypoglycemic effect of guava leaf extract on a diabetic white laboratory mouse model induced by 98% Alloxan monohydrate. The experiment involved 105 mice divided into groups with varying doses. Results showed that a dose of 450 mg/kg of guava leaf extract was the most effective in reducing blood sugar levels (150.5 ± 14.3 mg/dL) with an 80% recovery rate. It is concluded that guava leaf extract can be used as an adjunct treatment for diabetes.
