Antidiabetic activity was evaluated by streptozotocin induced diabetic rats where the hydroalcoholic extract of plant was administered orally at a dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg for 30 days. Blood glucose levels were estimated at 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day of study. Lipid profile was studied 30&lt;sup&gt;&lt;s&gt;th&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; day of study and body weight of the animals was measured at day 1 and 30.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Plant extract significantly (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01) reduced the blood glucose levels at both the tested dose levels of 250 and 500 mg/kg. The lipid profile was estimated in which the plant extract showed significant improved in both tested dose level that is 250 and 500 mg/kg. The body weight of the animals under study was also estimated on day 1 and 30 in which a good control was observed by the plant extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Antidiabetic activity of &lt;em&gt;Porana paniculata&lt;/em&gt; whole plant extract may be due to the presence of various phytoconstituents. Present study gives a scientific evidence for the folklore claim of the plant under study for its use in diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;
