Data analysis was performed and presented in descriptive statistics, and significant findings were computed using the paired t-test. The results showed that the decrease in Glucose intervention group downhill from 144,33+11,543 to 137,78+5,740 after the intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, the mean in Glucose increases from 134,00+10,124 to 153,78+7,412. The paired t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there were significant differences in the effect of giving Corn Silk ethanol extract (Zea mays L) to decrease glucose levels the intervention and the control group.
