According to Henrylito D. Tacio ,2018 about more than 3/4 of the respondents
(77 percent) from the Philippines believe that diabetes is inherited from their parents.
About 32 percent of those who were included in the survey are willing to change their
diet to support a member of their family with diabetes, and 47 percent are willing to
exercise with a diabetic family member. These findings were part of the five-year Sun
Life Financial Asia Diabetes Awareness Study in the region. It was conducted in
October 2018 through online interviews with 3,860 respondents aged 25 years old and
The Philippines ranks fifth behind China, Indonesia, Japan and Thailand in the
number of diabetes cases, according to the Western Pacific Region of the International
associations in 170 countries and territories. With the current population at over 100
million, the Philippines has more than 5 million diagnosed with diabetes .
Also one of the factors that puts the researchers to research further about this
topic is the increased number of people die in diabetes. According To think, the
Philippines has one of the highest number of diabetics in the region. “The number of
Filipinos with diabetes is growing at an alarming rate,” wrote Anne Ruth dela Cruz in an
article published in the BusinessMirror. “The numbers, however, could be higher than
reported because there are Filipinos who have not been diagnosed with the disease.” In
the year 2017 50,000 diabetic Filipinos died due to diabetes realted complications like
heart attack, stroke, kidney and heart failure. Then de la cruz quotes “If nothing is done
to stem the alarming trend,”,“the prevalence of diabetes is expected to soar to 20
percent by the year 2045, and more than 100,000 Filipinos would be dying every year
The people who have a problem about their blood sugar level. The data given will
provide the patient of the capability of tamarind (Tamarindus indica) as a blood sugar
regulator. The results will enable the people to save money, considering the fact that

The researchers found out hat tamarind are one of the plants that has the ability
to regulate blood sugar In the Philippines. The researches will perform the extraction
is transformed into a suspension of intact cells, resulting in pulpy products used as base
material for pulpy juices and nectars, as baby foods, and as ingredients for dairy
products such as puddings and yoghurts (Pilnik and Voragen, 1993; Khatri et al., 2015).
This process will take 2 to 3 weeks to break down and extract the nutrients from
the given variable. The researchers will use a kitchen digital scale to ensure the ratio of
the given treatment. The tamarind leaves extract will be tested in three albino mice.
They are the most commonly used mammalian research model and are used for
researchers will gather the data before, during and after the treatment. The researchers
will use a glucometer measure the blood pressure of the 3 albino mice.
RESEARCH PROBLEM:
1.) How effective the tamarind extract can be as a blood sugar regulator?
2.) What can be an alternative low cost medicine to regulate blood sugar level?
OBJECTIVES:
-To create an alternative low cost medicine as blood sugar regulator; and
V. Hypothesis
Ha: Tamarind leaves have a component that can regulate blood sugar level.
Ho: Tamarind leaves doesn’t have a component that can regulate blood sugar level.
VI. Conceptual Framework
In this study, the researchers, will use the following materials: Tamarind Leaves,351
Cylindrical Container,90% Ethanol, syringe, Tawas Powder for the extraction method
(maceration). First, the researchers will gather the materials and will start the extraction
process to the tamarind (tamarindus indica). The process will take approximately 2-3
weeks to ensure that aims to extract certain components present in tamarind plant. It is
a solid/liquid separation operation: a solid object (the plant) is placed in contact with a
fluid (the solvent, ethanol). The tamarind plant components of interest are then
solubilized and contained within the solvent. The solution thus obtained is the desired
extract. Third, the extract will test in 3 albino mice with different ratios with4 different
situations:
Situation 1- before the treatment, the researcher will test the blood sugar of the albino
mice.
Situation 2-the researchers will feed the 3 albino mice with a sugar concentration and
Situation 3- the licensed veterinarian will inject the treatment with different ratios; 1:0,
2:3, 5:5. And the researchers will gather the data after it.
can protect against diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The leaves
extract may also help lower blood sugar, while the pulp extract may help you lose body
weight and reverse fatty liver disease. Tamarind has played an important role in
constipation, fever and peptic ulcers. The bark and leaves were also used to promote
wound healing. Tamarind is high in many nutrients. A single cup (120 grams) of the pulp
contains :
The findings of these research may vary on the ratio of the treatment that will be used in
the experimental setup. Furthermore, the results of this research can be a gateway to
