Blood sugar levels, or blood glucose levels, are crucial for overall health and are regulated by the pancreas through insulin. Normal blood sugar levels range between 70-99 mg/dL when fasting and up to 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. Abnormal blood sugar levels can suggest a variety of health issues, including hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels caused by excess insulin, certain drugs, or illnesses such as diabetes) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes). Regular blood sugar monitoring is necessary, especially for diabetics. Guava, a tropical fruit, includes a variety of phytochemicals that have been linked to pharmacological benefits such as antibacterial capabilities. This research uses an extraction process involving solid-liquid extraction or maceration, with methanol being the optimal solvent. The extract yields 9.51%. Wistar rats are used to investigate its antidiabetic efficacy. The rats are divided into three groups: positive control, negative control, and extract treatment. Diabetes is induced by subcutaneous injection of Alloxan, followed by oral administration of the methanol extract. Blood glucose levels are assessed after fasting for 6-8 hours. The extract from dried Guava leaf powder yields a concentrated extract with a 9.51% yield. In vivo assessments showed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels in rats treated with guava leaf extract, suggesting potential anti-hyperglycemic effects. The phenolic compounds in guava leaves contribute to antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic effects. The study highlights the potential therapeutic effects of guava mint leaves and their extract components for diabetes management and antioxidant health benefits.

In previous research, mango rind extract has been studied as an antioxidant, antihypertensive, and antidiabetic, because it contains flavonoids and 17% mangiferin compounds. In this research, the effect of arumanis mango rind extract gel (Mangifera indica L.) as an anti-inflammatory was tested in male white mice induced by carrageenan using the granuloma pouch method. This experimental study used experimental white male mice which were grouped into 5 groups: the control group, the group with 2% mango rinf extract, the group with 4% mango rind extract, the group with 8% mango rind extract, and the comparison group. The parameters that were analyzed were exudate volume, total leukocytes, and type of leukocytes on days 3, 5, 7. The results showed that mango arumanis (Mangifera indica L.) rind extract had anti-inflammatory effectiveness topically as indicated by a decrease in the average exudate volume, total leukocytes, and leukocyte cell types (segmented neutrophil cells and lymphocyte cells) in each concentration group of mango rind extract, based on two-way ANOVA test and Duncan's test showed significant differences with respect to concentration and time (p<0.05). It can be concluded that all gel concentrations of arumanis mango rind extract (Mangifera indica L.) 2%, 4%, and 8% have anti-inflammatory effects.

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of chronic metabolic disorders due to abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, characterized by hyperglycemia which is results in long-term microvascular, macrovascular and neuropathic complications. Oral antidiabetic therapy is the main pharmacological therapy to treat type II diabetes mellitus. This therapy can be oral antidiabetic therapy. Thus, to find out the effectiveness of either combination or single of antidiabetics on diabetes mellitus patients, researchers conducted a studies of inpatients at RSUD Madiun.             This study included as non-experimental observational study with a cross-sectional study design at RSUD Caruban. Data were collected from Medical Records in October 2018. The sampling method that used in this study was non probability with purposive sampling technique, so there are 58 patients as a total sample.             The results showed that the effectiveness of controlling blood sugar levels when using an effective single ADO was Metformin, because Metfomin was able to reduce blood sugar levels with an average length of stay of 6.17 and the effectiveness of controlling blood sugar levels when using an effective combination of ADO was Metformin and acarbosa, because Metfomin and acarbosa are able to reduce blood sugar  average length of stay 7 days inpatient.
