Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to inadequate insulin production or ineffective insulin use. Despite the availability of pharmacological treatments, managing diabetes without adverse effects remains challenging. Current therapies, including insulin and oral antidiabetic agents, are often associated with significant side effects, necessitating the exploration of alternative approaches. In recent years, medicinal plants have garnered increasing attention as potential therapeutic agents for diabetes management. Traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, continue to play a crucial role in healthcare, particularly in developing countries, where plant-based treatments are culturally accepted and widely used. This review explores various plant species with documented antidiabetic properties, focusing on their ability to regulate glucose levels, enhance insulin secretion, or inhibit carbohydrate metabolism. Compounds such as glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids have demonstrated potential in reducing hyperglycemia and associated complications. By investigating plant-based remedies, we aim to provide an alternative, complementary approach to diabetes management, emphasizing the importance of ethnobotanical research in discovering new, safer treatments for this global health challenge.

Introduction

CONCLUSION:

The global rise in diabetes prevalence has highlighted the need for innovative and holistic approaches to its management. While conventional antidiabetic medications are effective, their side effects often lead patients to seek alternative therapies. This review underscores the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants in diabetes management, with over 400 species demonstrating hypoglycemic properties. Many of these plants offer mechanisms that address key aspects of diabetes, such as enhancing insulin activity, inhibiting glucose absorption, and protecting pancreatic function. Importantly, traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Unani have long recognized the benefits of these plants, especially in rural populations that rely heavily on herbal remedies. As research into these botanical treatments continues, there is significant promise in integrating them with conventional medical approaches to provide a more comprehensive, side-effect-free management of diabetes. However, more clinical studies are needed to validate their efficacy and safety. The future of diabetes treatment may well lie in the synergy between modern pharmacology and traditional plant-based medicine
