1.Introduction
• Diabetes mellitus is the major endocrine disorder affecting nearly 2.5%of the population all over the world. It is deadly disease that affects estimated 300 million people worldwide.
• In the indigenous Indian system of medicine, good number of plants were mentioned for the cure of diabetes.
1.What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both.
commonly referred to as diabetes was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas.
2. Types
2.1.Type I Diabetes:-
It is also referred as IDDM (Insulin dependent diabetes
mellitus or Juvenile diabetes).This results when the pancreas
produces insufficient amounts of insulin to meet the body’s
needs. Approximately 10% of the diabetic population is
composed of Type I or insulin-dependent diabetes.
The three main types of diabetes are
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
2.3.Gestational Diabetes:-Gestational diabetes develops only during pregnancy. Women
with gestational diabetes have a 20 to 50 percent chance of
developing type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years.
It is also referred as NIDDM (Non insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus or “adult-onset” diabetes). This result when the
pancreas produces insulin, but the cells are unable to use it
efficiently; this effect is called ‘insulin resistance’. About 90
to 95 percent of people with diabetes have type 2.
2.2.Type II Diabetes:-
3. Causes
Insufficient production of insulin
Inability of cells to use insulin
Heredity
Increasing age
Obesity
4.Pathophysiology
Type 1 (IDDM) In this type beta cell destruction in pancreatic islet;
is occure due to presence of autoimmune (type 1a) antibody in blood which resuls in decrease in circulating insulin level.
Type 2 (NIDDM) There is no loss or moderate reduction in beta cell
mass. Abnormality in gluco-receptor of beta cell Reduced sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin Excess of hyperglycaemic hormones (glucagon)/
obesity.
5. SYMPTOMS
increased urine output
weight loss despite an increase in appetite.
patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
sweet taste in the mouth
feeling of numbness and burning sensation in the plasms and
soles.
6.DIABETES MANAGEMENT:
control blood sugar levels
regular insulin injections.
control of simple carbohydrate intake
increasing the percentage of complex carbohydrates
regular exercise
weight reduction (in overweight individuals).
7.TREATMENTS
Insulin Therapy
Monitoring blood sugar
Exercise
Healthy weight
Transplantation:
i) Pancreas transplantation
ii) Islet cell transplantation
8.HERBAL TRETMENT OF DIABETES
Medicinal plants are the potential source of the drugs
Little side effects
Low cost
solve the economic problems
Wide availability
Experimentally evaluated
Trigonella foenum- graecum(Methi) Fabaceae
Momordica charantia. Cucurbitaceae
Curcuma longa(turmaric) Zingiberaceae
Cinnamomum zeylanicum(cinnamon) Lauraceae
Emblica officinalis(amla) Euphorbiaceae
Azadirachta indica, Meliaceae
Allium cepa(onion) Liliaceae
Allium sativum(garlic) Alliaceae
8.1.FENUGREEK
o Biological source: It is obtained from the leaves and seeds of Trigonella
foenum- graecum. o Family:- Fabaceae.
Chemical constituents:-
The nicotinic acid, alkaloid trogonelline, and coumarin, amino acid 4-
hydroxyisoleucine.
Pharmacological Activity:-
Fenugreek may also increase the number of insulin receptors in red blood cells and
improve glucose utilization in peripheral tissues, thus demonstrating potential anti-
diabetec effects both on the pancreas and other sites.
8.2.KARELA
Synonyms:- Momordica chinensis.
Biological source:-It is obtained from edible fruit of Momordica charantia.
Family:- Cucurbitaceae
Chemical constituents:-
triterpene, protein, steroid, alkaloid (momordicin and charantin), inorganic,
lipid, and phenolic compounds.
Pharmacological Activity:-
Bitter melon contains another bioactive compound i.e. lectin that has insulin like activity. The insulin-like bioactivity of lectin is due to its linking together 2 insulin receptors. This lectin lowers blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and, similar to insulin's effects in the brain, suppressing appetite.
8.3.TURMERIC
Synonyms:-Indian saffron,Curcuma,Haldi. Biological Source:-It consists of dried fresh rhizomes of the plant Curcuma
longa. Family:- Zingiberaceae. Chemical Constituents:-
curcumin, Sesquiterpens(camphor, zingiberene). Pharmacological Activity:-
It is increase the regulation of liver function.
8.4.CINNAMON
Synonyms:- Cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon,kalmi-dalchini. Biological source:-It consists of dried inner bark of shoots of coppiced trees of
Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Family:- Lauraceae. Chemical constituents:- Cinnamon bark contains volatile oil, (tannins, starch & mannitol)Cinnamon oil
contains cinnamaldehyde. Pharmacological Activity:-
Strong evidence suggests that cinnamon polyphenols (CP) exhibit insulin-like activity in cells, animals and people with type 2 diabetes. To explore the molecular basis of insulin-like activity of cinnamon with doubly-linked procyanidin type-A polymers,
10.5.AMLA
Biological Source:- It is obtained from the dried as well as fresh
fruits of Emblica officinalis.
Family:- Euphorbiaceae.
Chemical Constituents:-
"Phyllemblin“(gallic acid, tannins, flavonoids, pectin, and vitamin C )
Pharmacological Activity:-
E.officinalis fruit was evaluated for anti-hyperglycaemic and lipid-
lowering properties in human volunteers.
9.CONCLUSION:
From this study it has conclude that through diabetes is not curable but we can mange and prevent. It by using medicinal plant and this plants which I have mentioned will be halpful in treatment and management of diabetes.
