India having a rich heritage of traditional me dicine constituting with its different components like Ayurveda, Siddhaand Unani.

Herbs are used to manage Typ e 1 and Type II diabetes and their complications. The plants mentioned above have been considered for their possible hypoglycemic activity. Scientific validation of several Indian plant species has proved the efficacy of the botanicals in reducing the blood sugar le vel. However, there are numerous other plants still await scientific inquiry, which have mentioned in the indigenous systems of med icine for health care all over the world. A large number of plants, screened for their antidiabeiic effect, have yielded certain interesting leads as mentioned above, but till to date no plant based drug has reached such an advanced stage of investigation or development as to substitute or reduce the need for the currently available oral synthetic drugs. However, the interest in herbal drug research continues with an expectation that some day or the other, we would be able to bring a safer and more effective compound with all the desired parameters of a drug that could replace the synthetic medicines.
