Abstract
People of all ages are affected by the chronic complications of diabetes
mellitus. Numerous synthetic medications have been developed to treat diabetes, which
has become more common across the globe. These medications, while effective as
antihyperglycemic medicines, come with a number of side effects. They are expensive
and out of reach for the vast majority of people who live in underdeveloped nations.
Due to their accessibility and harmless nature, medicinal plants have already been
traditionally utilized to cure a variety of illnesses throughout history. Phytochemicals
found in medicinal plants provide a number of health advantages. Healthcare
professionals are looking into plant-based medicines as a potential supply of
antidiabetic pharmaceuticals because of their high efficacy and lack of adverse effects
as diabetes prevalence rises. The active phytoconstituents are being identified and
thoroughly studied in order to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of action
of therapeutic plants. Here, we focus on the perspectives of pharmacologically active
phytomolecule formulations produced from medicinal plants that demonstrate
antidiabetic action and the role they now play in managing and treating diabetes in the
present scenario. These natural molecules might be suitable for developing new
approaches to treatment or potent treatment options for diabetes.
