Abstract
Hyperglycemia is a condition in which the blood glucose level exceeds normal limits. Hyperglycemia is a clinical manifestation of diabetes disorder, a metabolic disorder characterized by resistance to insulin action, inadequate insulin secretion or both. Research has been conducted to determine blood sugar level of male mice after given the biscuit from Kepok banana skin (Musa paradisiaca L.). The experiment was conducted experimentally with completely randomized design (RAL) design with five treatments i.e. positive and negative control, Banana skin flour on levels 25%, 50%, and 75%. Each treatment was repeated as many as six tests. Prior to treatment the mice were induced with alloxan to create hyperglycemia conditions. The biscuit from banana skins were given for 14 days. The results of research that has been done shows that the administration of biscuit from Kepok banana skin could be reduce blood sugar levels of mice who have hyperglycemia. In addition, after given the biscuit from Kepok banana skin has no effect on body weight of hyperglycemia mice. The biscuit from Kepok banana skin on levels 75% can be consumed for people with hyperglycemia to lower blood sugar.
