Table 1

The effect of H. hemerocallidea on glucose concentrations.

Groups	Glucose reading after STZ induction (mmol/L)	Final glucose reading after 6 weeks (mmol/L)	Percentage change (%)
Group 1	6.23	5.31	1.47
Group 2	29.54	24.73	1.62
Group 3	25.27	6.74	73.3
Group 4	24.53	10.17	58.54
Group 5	6.25	5.07	1.89

Group 1: normal control; group 2: diabetic control; group 3: diabetic group fed with 800 mg/kg of H. hemerocallidea; group 4: diabetic group fed with 200 mg/kg of H. hemerocallidea; group 5: normal controls (nondiabetic) fed with 800 mg/kg of H. hemerocallidea.
