Traditional medicine is one of the drugs used by the community to be one of the efforts to treat diseases. One of them is Diabetes Mellitus (DM).

The parameters observed were blood sugar in male mice and the number of cells in the islands of Langerhans before and after being given boiled leaves of moon flowers and metformin. Data were analyzed using ANOVA then continued with DMRT test with a significant difference of 5%. The results showed that administration of boiled kembang bulan leaves and metformin for 7 days could reduce blood sugar levels in mice and accelerate the regeneration of pancreatic cells. The most significant impact is the treatment with the highest dose, namely P4 (Moon leaf leaves boiled water 49.1 mg / 10 ml).
