Results: The alterna-tive drink 0.25% stevia leaf extract is most preferred by panelists for color, aroma and taste parameters. This drink has an antioxidant activity of 32.45%; and total sugar content of 4.63%. Conclusion: Potential stevia leaves can significantly increase antioxidant activity and product organoleptic so that this can be used as an alternative choice for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Safe if consumed in the long run for people with type 2 diabetes. Therefore that stevia leaf extract can be used alternative drinks for people with DM 2.
