Based on the t-test analysis for the effect cupping therapy to blood glucose level between before and after cupping therapy, found that t value was 3,10 (P=0,004) therefore p value less than α (5 %) or 0,05 which mean cupping therapy has an effect to blood glucose level. The effect cupping therapy to blood glucose level between before cupping therapy and blood cupping, found that t value was 2,78 (P=0,007) there for p value less then α (5 %) or 0,05 it’s mean have the diffrent significantly.
