Les Plantes mèdicinales utilisèes dans le traitement de diabète

Abstract

Diabetes is currently considered a major public health problem. This chronic disease is characterized by a persistent elevation of blood glucose levels, and its prevalence continues to increase worldwide. Despite advances in available treatments, the management of diabetes and the prevention of its complications remain a major challenge, which is pushing researchers to explore new therapeutic alternatives, particularly from medicinal plants.These plants hold an important place in diabetes treatment due to their richness in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols. These compounds contribute to lowering blood glucose levels through various mechanisms, including the stimulation of insulin secretion, the improvement of cellular sensitivity to insulin, the reduction of sugar absorption, as well as their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.This study aims to highlight the main medicinal plants used in the treatment of diabetes, and to identify their active compounds and antidiabetic mechanisms of action. However, the effectiveness and safety of these plants require further clinical studies in order to determine appropriate dosages and to better understand their mechanisms of action.
