"Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, with increasing prevalence and related health issues. This article offers an overview of the epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, and management complexities of DM, focusing on the Indian subcontinent, where the disease burden is high. DM involves multiple factors, including insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and metabolic dysfunctions, necessitating individualized treatment approaches. Traditional medicinal systems, like Ayurveda, provide a wealth of plant-based remedies for managing diabetes. Many of these plants contain bioactive compounds that regulate carbohydrate metabolism, boost insulin secretion, and enhance insulin sensitivity. The article reviews the potential of various medicinal plants commonly used in Indian traditional medicine for treating diabetes, highlighting their mechanisms and therapeutic benefits. It also discusses herbal drugs formulated with these plant extracts, increasingly incorporated into integrative diabetes care. Exploring plant-based therapies offers promising prospects for developing cost-effective treatments for DM, addressing the pressing need for better therapeutic options in tackling this global health challenge."
