Honey contains carbohydrates and content of antioxidants and other active substances needed during pregnancy.</span></p><p class="Pa6"><strong><span lang="EN-US">AIM: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">This study aimed to look at the effect of the intervention on the blood glucose levels of normal white pregnant Wistar strain of <em>Moringa </em>honey, honey plus <em>Moringa </em>or natural honey interventions.</span></p><p class="Pa6"><strong><span lang="EN-US">METHODS: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">This research method uses a quantitative research with experimental lab research type. With a completely randomized pre-test-post-test controlled completely randomized research design. The samples in this study were 24 white Wistar pregnant rats, divided into four groups, the control group, the honey group, the honey plus <em>Moringa </em>group, and the <em>Moringa </em>honey group, each consisting of six animals. The intervention was carried out for 20 days with initial BB measurements pregnancy (pre) and end of pregnancy (post). Data analysis used paired t-test and one-way ANOVA test.</span></p><p class="Pa6"><strong><span lang="EN-US">RESULTS: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">GD levels showed a significant decrease in GD levels in all groups at the end of pregnancy with a p &lt; 0.05, but a decrease in GD levels between groups did not show a significant difference at the end of the study, the control group (82.33 ± 8.98), honey (83.83 ± 6.67), plus honey (73.17 ± 10.92), and <em>Moringa </em>honey (73.00 ± 6.45) with a p = 0.065 &gt; 0.05.</span></p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>It shows that honey variation has the effect of controlling blood glucose levels during pregnancy.</p> ER -
