One well-known herb of this kind is Psidium guajava Linn (Family: Myrtaceae) is a semi deciduous tropical tree commonly known as guava or ‘Amrood’ in north India and is widely grown throughout India. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the Anti diabetic activity (In-vitro) of Psidium guajava unripe fruit aqueous extact. The Evaluation of anti-diabetic activity of extract by In-vitro method by glucose uptake by yeast cells the rate of uptake of glucose into the yeast cells was linear in all the 3 glucose concentrations. The extract of Psidium guajava exhibited significantly activity than the control. However,
