Medicinal Plants with Anti-Diabetic Potential

Dr. Swati Chaurasia

Abstract: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by an elevation of glucose level in blood either due to decrease in the ability of body to respond to insulin or decrease in the insulin produced by the pancreas. If the disease is not regulated it may lead to disruption of normal carbohydrates, fat and protein metabolism and the overtime development of micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications and neuropathies. Diabetes medications and medical devices largely contribute to the significant financial expense. Long term diabetes medications may lead to kidney damage and cancer. As an alternative, herbal treatment, like, use of Aloe vera, fenugreek, jambolan, bitter gourd, insulin plant, garlic and other herbs, have been preferred as these are cheaper and without any side effect. The present paper reviews the plants with anti-diabetic property.
