Methods: The study design used the randomized post-test only control group design with the number of samples using the Federer formula, 30 male white Wistar strain male rat, divided into five groups. The first group as negative control group, second group as positive control (induce STZ 50mg / kgBB), third group was given alkaline water 20 ml / day, fourth group was done swimming exercise 4 times a week with duration 30 minutes, fifth group was given the combination of two treatments, Where the treatment was carried out for 28 days. Data analysis using MANOVA test. Results: The results of this study were, there was effect of giving alkaline pH water and physical swimming exercise on blood glucose and GLUT 4 with p <0.0001. Discussion: This study shows that combination therapy can reduce fasting blood glucose levels and 2 hours of PP blood glucose level to normal limits.
