ABSTRACT:
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition defined by hyperglycemia caused by abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. There is an increasing interest in investigating natural therapy approaches to manage diabetes as the condition's incidence rises worldwide. A considerable amount of attention has been paid to medicinal plants because of their rich phytochemical profiles and generally minimal side-effect profiles. The potential of diverse plants in managing diabetes is explored in this review article, with a particular emphasis on the bioactive compounds—alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic acids—that show hypoglycemic effects. Momordica charantia (bitter melon), Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek), Gymnema sylvestre (gymnema), and Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) are among the important plants whose actions are highlighted due to their capacity to increase insulin secretion, improve insulin sensitivity, and inhibit the breakdown of carbohydrates. The review also emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend how different phytochemicals work in concert, as this could provide a more comprehensive approach to diabetes control than single-compound treatments. Further clinical trials and research are necessary to support the therapeutic claims, as is the case when discussing the safety, efficacy, and prospective incorporation into mainstream diabetic care. This review seeks to provide a thorough overview of the function of medicinal plants in the fight against diabetes by linking traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific methodologies, assisting in the creation of efficient, all-natural antidiabetic medicines.
