Effect of The Sweet Potato Against Mice on Blood Glucose of Diabetes Mellitus
<p class="Default"><em>The </em><em>aim</em><em> of this study was to analyze </em><em>the effects</em><em> of the sweet potato to the levels of blood glucose on diabetic mellitus mice. This study had been carried out with a sample of 25 mice which were divided into 5 groups. The levels of blood glucose on mice before treating with rice flour and sweet potato flour on the negative control group (KN) was 76.2 ± SD, on the positive control group (KP) was 159.4 ± SD, on the 1<sup>st</sup> treatment group (P1) was 159.4 ± SD, on the 2<sup>nd</sup> treatment group (P2) was 166.6 ± SD and 3<sup>rd</sup> treatment group (P3) was 161.2 ± SD. The average blood glucose levels on the 2<sup>nd</sup> treatment group (P2) before treatment was 166.6 ± SD and after treatment was 109.0 ± SD. The result showed a significant difference based on the statistical data (p < 0.05) between 4 test groups of mice. There was a big difference on the average blood glucose levels before and after treatment o P2 and P3. It is concluded that the treatment of sweet potatoes gives a positive effects on the blood glucose levels of diabetic mellitus mice. </em></p>
