Statement of the Problem: Diabetes mellitus, known as chronic hyperglycemia and resulted from insulin deficiency, is a metabolic ailment. Diabetes disorders are related to long-term damages, such as dysfunction and shortness of eyes, nerves, heart and kidneys. Plants have generally used for traditional medicine to treat various diseases. Lavandula angustifolia is an important herb for alternative medicine. L. angustifolia essential oil is utilized to protect from various diabetes symptoms, such as increased blood sugar level (BGL), metabolic disorders, liver and kidney diseases, which are resulted from diabetes. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of L. angustifolia ethanolic extracts on BGL of male Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: L. angustifolia plant was purchased from the local herbalist in Çanakkale. The flower parts of the plant were extracted. The obtained extracts were dissolved in saline solution. The animals, used in this study, were divided into two groups, control and experimental. L. angustifolia extract doses were injected to experimental animals intraperitoneally for 20 days, one dose per day. Blood samples were taken from all animals on the 10th and 20th days and the blood sugar values were measured by commercial kit. Findings: The results of this study was summarized in figure 2. The L. angustifolia extract increased on BGL on the 20th day. Conclusion & Significance: L. angustifolia essential oils and extracts are utilized for the treatment of various diseases. These oils and extracts are also used as complementary medicine for the treatment of diabetes. The BGL is indicating diabetes disorder. However, there are little researches about the effect of L. angustifolia oil and extracts BGL. Our result indicates that L. angustifolia flower extracts increase BGL. Therefore, due to its effect on glucose level in long-term use of L. angustifolia should be considered.
