One of the most prevalent metabolic diseases, diabetes mellitus affects 2.8% of people worldwide and is expected to rise to 5.4% by 2025. Herbal remedies have long been regarded as a very reputable form of treatment, and as a result, they are increasingly being used in high-tech, contemporary medicinprofiles of 65 species of plants with hypoglycemic qualities that can be found in literature sources from different databases. These profiles are appropriately categorized based on the parts that are used, the way that blood glucose is reduced, and active phytoconstituents that have insulin-mimetic activity. Plants with hypoglycemic potential are primarily found in the Leguminoseae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Asteraceae, Moraceae, Rosaceae, and Araliaceae families, according to the review. the plants that are most active.
