Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is currently a major global public health burden associated with elevated blood glucose. The use of herbal medicine in the management of type 2 diabetes is currently on the rise both in developed and developing countries. This study sets out to determine the prevalence of herbal medicine use and to identify the factors associated with herbal medicine use amongst type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study involves 123 adults living with type 2 diabetes (90 males and 30 females), mean age 58.7 ± 9.5 years in the Bamenda III health district of the North West Region of Cameroon. Data on the different types of herbs used, frequency and mode of herbal medicine use as well as reasons for using herbal medicines in the management of T2DM were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometric and diabetes related measurements were carried out following standard procedures. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent predictors of herbal medicine use. Results: The prevalence of herbal medicine use was 24.4% (n = 30) amongst which 37.4 % used both herbs and orthodox medicine. A higher proportion of diabetic males used herbal medicines compared to females and this difference was significant (X 2 = 5.243, p < 0.027). Also, a higher proportion of patients who had attained secondary/tertiary education used herbal medicine compared to those who had attained only primary education and this difference was significant (X 2 = 10.75, p = 0.005). The most commonly used herbs were Vernonia amygdalina leaves (19.10%), Aloe vera (13.48%), Mangifera indica leaves (11.24%) including its bark and Carica papaya leaves (8.99%). Bivariate analysis indicated that being male (OR 2.8, 95% CI, 1.14 -6.79) and having attained secondary/tertiary education

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem in Morocco with more than 1.6 million cases of diabetes in 2017 with an expectation to rise to over 2.7 million cases in 2045. The aim of this work is to provide ethnobotanical information on some of the medicinal plants used by diabetic patients to treat their illness in the region of Fez-Meknes (Morocco). Methods:A semi-structured and simple questionnaire was carried out. A total of 422 interviews were conducted with diabetic patients presented to diagnosis in the Hassan II Hospital center in Fez in Morocco. The data were analyzed through use value (UV) and relative frequency of citations (RFC).Results: In total, 50 plant species belonging to 27 families were reported. Lamiaceae (14%), Apiaceae (12%) and Fabaceae (12%) were reported as the most represented families. Among the collected species, 6 plants were reported for the first time as antidiabetic plants in Morocco. The most frequently cited plant species are Trigonella foenum graecum (8.41%), Olea europaea (7.71%) and Prunus amygdalus var. amara (7.71%). Almost 67% and 33% of diabetic patient use medicinal plants as a complement and alternatives to their medication respectively. Conclusion:This study showed the importance of medicinal plants in the healthcare system for treating diabetes. Knowledge of the use of medicinal plants that are used to manage diabetes may contribute to their preservation and to undertake further pharmacological studies.

“…Despite awareness and prevention measures taken by governments to control and reduce mortality, management of diabetes and adequate treatment remain a challenge. The current clinical trend is the utilization of naturally active compounds as replacement therapies and World Health Organization has substantiated their utilization for the management of diabetes [22,23], due to easy availability, economic reasons and lesser side effects [24]. Their use has been reported in Guinea [25], in Morocco [26] and many other countries.…”

Aim: Diabetes Mellitus remains amongst the highest cause of mortality in the world. This study was carried out to determine the phytochemical composition of stem bark extracts of Citrus sinensis and study their anti-hyperglycaemic activities as well as their modulatory effects on starch and sucrose digestion on normal Wistar rats. Methodology: Stem bark Aqueous (AqE), Ethanolic (EtE), Hydroethanolic (HEE) extracts of C. sinensis were prepared. The content of polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids was determined. Antihyperglycaemic activity was evaluated in vivo by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for 120 minutes. Wistar male rats of 180-200 g were used. After an overnight fast, their glycaemia were measured (T0). Rats were then distributed into five groups of six each: Control (water), Tests (400 mg/kg of each (AqE, EtE, HEE) extracts), Reference (4 mg/kg B. W., glibenclamide). Thirty
