Phytotherapy, or the use of plant-based substances for medicinal purposes, has gained attention in the management of diabetes mellitus (DM) due to its potential benefits and fewer side effects compared to conventional medications. Various plant extracts and herbal remedies have been studied for their antidiabetic properties, with mechanisms including enhancement of insulin secretion, improvement of insulin sensitivity, inhibition of carbohydrate digestion and absorption, and antioxidant effects. Commonly studied plants include bitter melon (Momordica charantia), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), and ginseng (Panax ginseng). Bitter melon, for instance, contains compounds that mimic insulin and may help regulate blood sugar levels. Fenugreek seeds have shown promise in reducing blood glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Cinnamon extracts have been reported to lower fasting blood sugar levels by improving insulin signaling and glucose transport.While phytotherapy offers potential benefits, it’s crucial to note that scientific evidence supporting their efficacy and safety is still evolving. Standardization of dosage, potential interactions with medications, and variability in bioactive compounds among plant sources are important considerations. Therefore, individuals considering phytotherapy for diabetes management should consult healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective integration with conventional treatments and monitoring of blood glucose levels.
