Background: Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent chronic disease, which is recognized as a common threat to health in the last decade, especially in Asia. It is a lifestyle disease which may cause a number of complications in the body of humans like cardiac failure and dysfunctioning of urinary tract. Materials and Methods: The data is obtained from various search tools and electronic databases like, scientific literature, Google scholar, Google, Pubmed, Web of science and Scopus. Results: Major therapy for diabetes is insulin, oralantidiabetic drugs, and herbal treatment. However, insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs come with a number of side effects and cannot be afforded by people with below poverty line. The herbal medicines have performed a satisfactory clinical practice for the management of diabetes mellitus. Moreover, pharmacological & phytochemical screening of medicinal plants has also witnessed the hypoglycaemic effects of these plants in treating diabetes mellitus. Majority of the modern drugs like metformin, atropine, digitalis, etc. are also originated from plants. Conclusion: The current paper presents a review of medicinal plants used for diabetes management in India. The therapeutic potential, ethnobotanical use, and their pharmacological evaluations are highlighted for harnessing the anti-diabetic potential of these plants by the Indian healthcare system.
