Abstract

Investigating the antidiabetic effects of different medicinal plants is the focus of the current study. Among the many non-communicable illnesses that affect people across the world, diabetes mellitus ranks high. Although it has not yet reached pandemic proportions in many poor and newly industrialized nations, it is now the fourth worst killer among the world's wealthiest countries. We must confront this grave danger in the twenty-first century. Herbs and plants have been used as medicine for a very long time. Plants were referenced in Ayurveda and other Indian texts as potential treatments for a variety of illnesses. Less than one percent of the approximately 250,000 higher plants have undergone pharmacological screening, with even less tested for diabetes mellitus. There has been a dearth of systematic research on the traditional medicinal herbs used to treat diabetes mellitus.
