Moringa leaves has substances that can be used as an anti-hyperglycemic. To reveal the substances contribute to antidiabetic effect of Moringa leave, an antidiabetic test was done mice ( Mus muscullus L.) strain Swiss Webster. The main purpose of this research were: (1) to determine the effect of leaf extracts of Moringa to decrease blood glucose levels in mice strain Swiss Webster alloxan induced? This research method used experimental method in the laboratory a completely randomized design consisted of 6 treatments and 4 replications consist. The treatments consisted of the P0 = normal control (it is given aquadest and animal food), P1 = positive control (alloxan induced and aquadest) P2 = comparison (induced alloxan and glibenclamide), P3 = 10% mixture of moringa leaf extract, P4 = 20%, and P5 = 30% is given in a gevage given for 10 days. The mice are chosen randomly with the body weight 25-35 grams with the age of 2-3 months.

It’s means that, giving extract moringa leave ( Moringa oleifera Lamk.) hadn’t effect toward blood glucose level of mice.
