Medicinal plants are among the important source of potential therapeutic agents for diabetes. Therapeutic use of Moringa oleifera leaf extract has been practiced in management of diabetes because of its potential to decrease blood glucose and lipids concentration after ingestion. This study was conducted to evaluate the ameliorative effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on streptozocin induced diabetes Wistar rats. Initially, diabetes was induced by given streptozocin (STZ) intravenously followed by the treatments with different concentration of Moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract. Fasting blood glucose level was measured using Accu-Chek glucometer after 24, 48, 72 and 97 hours post treatment. There is significance difference at 0.05 in blood glucose level between the control groups and the groups that were treated with the leaf extract after administration of STZ. Hence, this plant shows high potential to be used in the management of hyperglycaemia. The need for the toxicity study to evaluate it effect in body tissues and organs is recommended. There is need to study the phytochemical constituents to identify the bioactive lead compound with ameliorative effect.
