Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Scientific reports revealed that diabetes cannot be cured completely. In addition to that rapid increase in diabetes mellitus is becoming a serious threat to mankind in all parts of the world. Medicinal plants play an important role in management of diabetes mellitus. Herbal medicines have shown good clinical practice in the therapy of diabetic mellitus. The present review gives detailed information about diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus has been a major health concern since several past decades. Cases of Type 1 as well as types 2 diabetes are increasing day by day. The major morbidity caused in the diabetic patients is due to dysfunction of several organ systems after a few years of having diabetes. Research has now clearly proved that these organ dysfunctions have their roots in diabetic pathophysiology. It has been shown that inflammation plays an important role in microvascular as well as macrovascular complications of diabetes. However, very less literature is available about methods used for evaluation of inflammation in diabetic complications.
