Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health concern characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, action, or both. While conventional antidiabetic therapies are widely available, the increasing prevalence of diabetes and its associated complications have prompted a search for alternative treatment strategies. Medicinal plants, with their rich repository of bioactive compounds, have emerged as potential therapeutic agents in managing diabetes. This review examines the pharmacological effects of medicinal plants toward diabetes mellitus, particularly insulin secretion, inhibition of glucose absorption, and their antioxidant activity. Besides, the current review will summarize the possibility of integrating herbal medication with conventional modern medicine for managing diabetes mellitus holistically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
