There were 24 rats consist of 4 treatment groups (K1, K2, K3, K4). (K1) = rats were given by a standard diet. K2 = rats induced streptozotocin 40 mg/kgBW.K3 = rats were treated with metformin. K4 = rats were treated with Aloe vera extract 250 mg/kg BW. After 21st day, blood glucose levels were measured. The research was conducted at the animal house of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lampung. Samples were analyzed using the one way Annova test. Blood glucose levels of the 4 treatment groups were K1 = 67.16 mg/dl, K2 = 366.33 mg/ dl, K3 = 77.83 mg/dl, K4 = 127.16 mg /dl. The blood glucose level in the control and treatment groups were significantly different (p<0,05). Aloe vera extract ameliorates blood glucose levels of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in white rats (Rattus norvegicus).]]>
