“…Different cohort studies in different countries with different ages, genders, and races ( Li et al, 2016 ) reveal that the consumption of Camellia sinensis tea (common tea) has different sensitivities in different ethnic groups due to inconsistent specification and lack of standardized procedure to prepare the C. sinensis tea ( Yu et al, 2017 , Wang et al, 2014 ). Herbals that are rich in tannins as apple, blueberry, cinnamon, grape seed/-peel, neem, pomegranate peel, and sorghum have a potent anti-diabetic effect ( Munyangi et al, 2020 ), whereas juices from fruits apples, blueberry, grape, and pomegranate do not have tannins so barely have any glycemic impact ( Muraki and Imamura, 2013 ). Polysaccharides inhibit the absorption of glucose in the intestine and alleviate β-cell dysfunctions ( Wang et al, 2011a , Wang et al, 2011b , Wu et al, 2016 ).…”

Background. People with diabetes, herbalists, and traditional medicine practitioners (TMPs) from Kinshasa use plants to treat diabetes, but no study has inventoried the plants used by these populations. The present study was conducted to identify the plants used in Kinshasa to treat diabetes mellitus. Methods. The survey conducted in the form of a semistructured interview between March 2005 and August 2006 made it possible to collect ethnobotanical information from people with diabetes (n = 126), herbalists (n = 80), and TMPs (n = 120). Results. The 326 subjects consulted (sex ratio M/F = 0.6, age 51 ± 7 years, and experience: 17 ± 5 years) provided information on 71 plants, most of which are trees (35%), belonging to 38 families dominated by Fabaceae (19.7%) and indicated in 51 other cases of consultation dominated by malaria (12%). From these 71 plants derived, 86 antidiabetic recipes were administered orally, where the leaf is the most used part (>50%) and the decoction (>46%) is the most common mode of preparation. This study reports for the first time the antidiabetic use of 11 species, among which Tephrosia vogeliiX (0.08), Chromolaena corymbosaX (0.06), and Baphia capparidifoliaX (0.06) present the highest consensus indexes (CI) and Marsdenia latifoliaW (UVp = 0.08) and Rauvolfia manniiX (UVp = 0.06) present the highest UVs. Conclusion. The results show that Kinshasa people treat diabetes using several plants. Some are specific to the ecological environment; others are used in other regions. Pharmacological studies are underway to assess the therapeutic efficacy of these plants.

Natural products for the treatment and management of diabetes mellitus in Zimbabwe-a review

Use of medicinal plants and herbs in the treatment and management of diseases, including diabetes mellitus and its complications remains an integral part of African tradition. In Zimbabwe, nearly one million people are living with diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Zimbabwe is increasing every year due to lifestyle changes, and has accelerated the use of traditional medicines for its treatment and management in urban areas. In addition, the high cost of modern medicine has led many people in rural parts of Zimbabwe to rely on herbal plant medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications. This review highlights a number of studies carried out to evaluate the antidiabetic properties of indigenous plants found in Zimbabwe with the goal of treating diabetes mellitus. Further, we discuss the mechanism of action of various plant extracts in the treatment and management of diabetes mellitus. Together, this review article can open pathways leading to discovery of new plant derived medicines and regularization of use of crude plant remedies to treat diabetes mellitus by the Zimbabwean government and others across Africa.
