This study deals with the determinatioifof the hypoglycemic property of the resin extract obtained from the yacon tubers, scientifically known as Smallanthus sonchifolius from the family Asteraceae. The extracts of yacon tubers were studied for potential hypoglycemic property to glucose induced rabbits. Dose levels of 0.25mg/kg, 0.5mg/kg, 1g/kg and 1.5g/kg were administered orally to the rabbits after the oral administration of CMC solution. After the time interval of 5,10 and 24 hours, blood samples were collected through the ear veins of the rabbit using surgical needle. The fresh blood sample collected was then placed in the test spot Ames Glucose Strip and Inserted into the glucometer. The pharmacological testing done on hypoglycemic rabbits showed that three doses of the plant extract of the Yacon tubers possess glucose lowering activity in the 5 and 10 hours interval but on the 24 hours the blood glucose level increased again. Theresult obtained using Euglocon as a positive control helped evaluate the laboratory procedure used in testing for hypoglycemic property of the yacon tubers even though the plant extract is not as effective as Euelocon in maintaining hypoglycemia.
