  1. 1% GD, 1% GD-treated diabetic group; 5% GD, 5% GD-treated diabetic group; 10% GD, 10% GD-treated diabetic group. The experimental data are presented as means ± SD. **P < 0.01, versus normal group; #P < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01, respectively, versus diabetic model group. The hypoglycaemic rate = (FBG before treatment-FBG after 4 weeks of GD treatment)/FBG before treatment×100%
