Plasma glucose level (mmol/L)	Rat group
and percentage of glucose level (%)	Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4	Group 5	Group 6	Group 7
Plasma glucose level at week 0 (mmol/L)	5.21 ± 2.18	9.52 ± 4.31	21.61 ± 5.56	20.41 ± 5.81	19.75 ± 5.18	21.55 ± 4.64	22.26 ± 6.12
Plasma glucose level at week 4 (mmol/L)	5.34 ± 3.57	11.69 ± 5.31	25.47 ± 4.38*	13.5 ± 21.13**	12.70 ± 15.72**	13.10 ± 19.27**	16.8 ± 17.22**
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.
