In light of traditional claim of Cajanus scarabaeoides (L) in the treatment of diabetes, we studied the effects of different solvent extracts in normal, glucose over loaded normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The methanolic extract (500 mg/kg orally) was produce significantly reduce blood glucose level at normal, glucose over loaded normal rats, and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats 15 days treatment whereas petroleum ether and chloroform extract (500 mg/kg orally) did not exhibit any significant effect on three groups of rats. Histopathology studies on pancreas streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats inflammatory changes were detected in pancreatic islets results from selectively destroy of insulin producing beta-cells. These changes are inhibited by C. scarabaeoides methanolic extract and gliclazide. The antidiabetic activity of methanolic extract may be due to the presence of flavonoids.
