Abstract

Hyperglycemia is the primary symptom of diabetes, a metabolic condition caused by impaired insulin production, insulin action, or both. There are two main subtypes of diabetes: type I and type II. Genetic predisposition, excess body fat, high blood pressure, and other similar variables all contribute to the development of diabetes. Many diabetic medications, including biguanides, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, etc., are now available for conventional use. However, we have yet to reach the point where we can cure people effectively. This is why scientists are actively seeking for new methods of treating diabetes. The study and application of medicinal plants holds great promise for the future of complementary treatment. Traditional diabetes treatment and management in India often include the use of medicinal herbs. Herbs with potentially beneficial effects on diabetes are discussed in this review article.
