Abstract
Abstract:
Diabetes is a severe metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia
is a hallmark of diabetes, a life-threatening metabolic condition. There are a variety of oral hypoglycemic
drugs in the market for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including biguanides, sulphonylurea,
and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. On the other hand, these conventional methods of treating
diabetes are costly and associated with a variety of long-term issues, whereas medicinal herbs used
to treat diabetes are inexpensive and have no harmful consequences or side effects. Because of the
existence of different therapeutically relevant active phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids,
and other compounds in medicinal plants, they can be used in treating diabetes. Various
medicinal plants used to treat diabetes mellitus and their bioactive components are discussed in this
review article. In this review, the prospects of these medicinal plants, as well as the challenges associated
with their use, are discussed.
