  1. RBGL (Random blood glucose level)-Blood glucose level taken after feeding the mice with equal weight pelletized mice feed for 5 days;
  2. FBGL (Fasting blood glucose level)-Blood glucose level taken after 24 h from daytime to overnight fasting
  3. Values followed with the same letters (a, b and c) in column are not significantly different (p > 0.05), values with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05)(Tukey’s HSD test at p = 0.05)
  4. HB (selected honey samples from beekeepers); HS (selected honey samples from supermarkets); and HL (selected honey samples from local honey parkers
