Abstract: The efficacy of synergistic of Solenostemon monostachyus and Ocimum gratissimum for the management of type-2-diabetes using Zebra fish was investigated. The plants were dried, grounded and the powder was pooled together, homogenized and extracted for 7 hours using the Soxhlet apparatus. A total of 75 zebra fish were used and were divided into five groups of five juveniles per test concentration in three replicates. Group A was given de-chlorinated water; B was treated with 0.25mg/L diazinon only while other groups were exposed to the same concentration as in group B, but with different concentrations of the plant’s extract. Group C, D and E received 250, 500 and 750mg/L respectively.
