The fraction of the extract ethanol was given ethyl acetate fraction, fraction of n-hexane and the fraction of water with each dose of 25 mg/ kg body weight given orally once daily for seven days. Parameters measured were blood glucose levels in mice. The results showed that the fraction of water orally showed a decrease in blood glucose levels are higher than diabetic mice by fractions of ethyl acetate and n-hexane fraction orally. The percentage of blood glucose lowering effect of the water fraction of 58.87%, 52.09% fraction of ethyl acetate and hexane fraction 24.30%.
