Abstract: The aim of this research work was to carry out a comparative study on the aqueous extracts of the leaves and fruits of Garden egg (Solanum melongena) using alloxan induced diabetic guinea pigs. Blood glucose level analysis was used as diabetic indices. Z-test was used in comparing the mean fasting blood glucose level of alloxan induced diabetic guinea pigs after administration of aqueous leaf extracts and that of the aqueous extracts of the fruits of Garden egg (Solanum melongena) against the negative control (0.9%N/S) and positive control group (Glibenclamide solution).The results showed that there was a significant difference between the group that had oral administration of aqueous leaf extracts and the negative control group (p 0.05).
