Plasma glucose changes from week 0 to week 4	2.4	18.6	15.2	−51.6	−54.3	−64.5	−32.4

Data are means ± SD for plasma glucose level of normal rats (Group 1), obese rats (Group 2), diabetic control rats (Group 3), diabetic rats treated with 50 mg/kg bw of C. latifolia fruit:root extracts (Group 4), diabetic rats treated with 100 mg/kg bw of C. latifolia fruit:root extracts (Group 5), diabetic rats treated with 200 mg/kg bw of C. latifolia fruit:root extracts (Group 6), and diabetic rats treated with 10 mg/kg bw of glibenclamide (Group 7) at weeks 0 and 4.
*Are significantly different at 𝑃<0.05 compared with diabetic control, that is, Group 3.
**Are significantly different at 𝑃<0.001 compared with diabetic control, that is, Group 3.
− Indicates the reduction in plasma glucose.
