...ABSTRACT High glucose level can lead to diabetes and may cause many complications. There are many cures, preventions and medications to avoid it but people could not do it or even afford it. That is the main reason why the researcher targets to make a discovery on preventing the risk of having high glucose level. For such people who cannot have the means to afford buying expensive food supplements, teas and other medicines to maintain a good health. The study aims to be effective for lowering blood glucose to the easiest way and the simplest way by finding and just asking if there is someone who has this plant. Therefore, in preparing the tea, old and young leaves were dried into two separate containers for almost five hours. The dried pulverized leaves were placed in the tea bad and were placed on the cup with the hot water and tested with the respondents who have high level of blood glucose. Based on the results showed and been computed on the experiment and statistical analysis, since the computed ratio is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted. The null hypothesis states that there is no significant difference in the tea made of young leaves and the old ones. The researcher therefore conclude that any ages of makopa leaves tea is significant of being tea for lowering blood glucose and can be made by ordinary people who has difficulties on affording such expensive food supplements, teas and...

...effects on human health, the researchers planned to conduct a study using makopa, a native Philippine fruit, to be a component of a natural medicine for diabetes. Makopa (Syzygium samarangense) leaves have been found to have antihyperglycemic properties. The researchers thought of another way to produce the same result by using the fruit instead of the leaves. The fruit was put into a food processor, to separate the liquid extract and from the pulp. The retrieved extract was filtered using cheesecloth to remove impurities. The pure extract was put into a vial. The pulp of the fruit was sun dried, powdered using a blender. The resulting powder was combined with the pure extract. The extract from the pulp was the tea that can be orally taken by the mice through regulated feeding. Having produced two products, the researchers were able to come up with a pure makopa extract, and be able to apply current discoveries and studies to produce a medicinal product from makopa. Background of the Study The study was conducted to prevent and cure diabetes through makopa. Also, the study was driven by the medical history of diabetes in the families of two out of three researchers. Because of diabetes’ horrifying effects on human health and it is continuous effect on a larger population, this study aimed to produce a natural cure and prevention for this illness using a native fruit, makopa. Though makopa is found to have antihyperglycemic flavonoids, it has not been applied so this...
