ABSTRACT
Globally, diabetes mellitus is a very prevalent and dangerous metabolic disease. This terrible
illness is present everywhere in the globe and is rapidly endangering human health. Diabetes
mellitus is a collective term for a series of metabolic illnesses that are characterized by high
blood glucose levels that are caused by anomalies in the synthesis, function, or interaction of
both insulin and glucose. Diabetes mellitus has been treated using traditional herbal medicines
all throughout the world. Although a variety of medications and poly-herbal plants are used in
medicine, many herbs are recognized to successfully treat and manage diabetes, and they also
have no unfavorable side effects. Synthetic oral hypoglycemic medications, such as insulin, are
the standard therapy for diabetes and are successful in reducing hyperglycemia. However, they
have a lot of negative side effects and don't really slow down the development of diabetes
problems. This is the primary cause of the growing number of individuals searching for
substitute drugs that may have less side effects or none at all. An overview of various
documented anti-diabetic medicinal plants and commercialized plant-based poly-herbal herbal
preparations is provided in this article.
