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.
