    This study aims to test the effectiveness of Costus igneus nak, an Indian plant known as the "insulin plant", in lowering blood sugar levels in diabetic rats. Specifically, the study will determine if oral extracts of the plant can significantly decrease blood sugar, how its effects compare to regular insulin and diabetes medications, and what dosage is needed. The results could help establish Costus igneus nak as a potential natural treatment for diabetes and provide valuable information on its hypoglycemic properties and mechanisms. However, the study is limited to animal testing only.

    HYPOGLYCEMIC POTENTIAL OF COSTUS IGNEUS NAK IN

    DIABETIC RATS

    INTRODUCTION

    Diabetes is a disorder that many people from different age groups experience. Since the body is

    not able to produce enough insulin which causes the blood sugar levels to be abnormally high.

    This puts them in a risk of accumulating various diseases such as stroke, heart attack and chronic

    kidney failure. The treatment for diabetes is expensive since constant monitoring and

    prescription medicines are needed but there are also alternatives that are found in nature. A plant

    found in India which they call “insulin plant’ or scientifically known as costus igneus nak has

    been said to have high levels of insulin and since this plant can be massively reproduced if found

    to be effective in lowering the blood sugar levels. It can be used as an alternative in treating

    diabetes especially for people who do not have an easy access to pharmacies and those who are

    unfortunate in terms of societal standards. Costus Igneus Nak is a promising plant in terms of

    combating diabetes and is also showing its potentials to different researchers. Many traditional

    plants have showcased their profound abilities in search for possible source of a new oral

    hypoglycemic compounds to be studied for further development. This plant (costus igneus nak)

    is one of the top candidates besides many others.

    Therefore, this study will help the researchers know more about its effectiveness, structure and

    the needed dosages to successfully lower the blood sugar levels that are present in the body. This
    study also aims to help other people understand and realize the value costus igneus nak as a

    medicinal plant.

    Statement of the Problem:

    The main objective of this study is to test the levels of effectiveness of costus igneus nak in

    lowering blood sugar levels in diabetic rats.

    Specifically it aimed to answer the following:

    1. Will there be a significant amount of decrease in blood sugar levels when the plant is

    extracted and given orally?

    1.1. Is there a difference between regular insulin and the insulin found in costus igneus

    nak?

    1.2. Will it be able to compare with other medicines found in the pharmacies like

    metformin and etc?

    1.3. How is it safer than pharmaceutical made drugs?


    METHODOLOGY

    Research Questions :

    1.How does the insulin plant interact with the blood sugar levels?

    2.How much dosage of the plant is needed to equate medicines like metformin?

    3.Will it be as effective as the lab-generated medicines in lowering the body’s blood sugar
    levels?

    Scope and Limitations :

    Scope : Type 2 diabetes, prevention.

    Limitations : Not tested on humans
