- Abstract
Diabetes mellitus was known to ancient Indian physicians as ‘madumeha’. Diabetes is defined as a state in which homeostasis of carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism is improperly regulated as a consequence of a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin secretion, resistance to insulin action or both at one or more points in the complex pathways of hormone action. Traditional Medicines derived from medicinal plants are used by about 60% of the world’s population. Traditional plant-based medicines still exert great deal of importance to people living in developing countries and also serve as source to discovery of new drug candidates for a variety of diseases that threaten human health. In the last few years there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine and these drugs are gaining popularity both in developing and developed countries because of their natural origin and less side effects. There is an urgent need in scientifically establishing Sustained Release Polyhedral Formulation and Antidiabetic Herbal Drugs for the management of Diabetes, so that we are able to come up with a more effective and potent bioactive phytoconstituents or active fraction with fewer side effects in comparison with existing synthetic drugs.
