Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common and very prevalent disease affecting the citizens of both developed and developing countries. It is estimated that 25% of the world population is affected by this disease. Diabetes mellitus is caused by the abnormality of carbohydrate metabolism which is linked to low blood insulin level or insensitivity of target organs to insulin. In the present review we discussed about Herbal medicinal plants for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. Herbs are used to manage Type 1 and Type II diabetes and their complications. This study may be useful to the health professionals, scientists and scholars working in the field of pharmacology and therapeutics to develop antidiabetic drugs.
