Diabetes is a long-term endocrine disease that affects people all over the world and is getting increasingly common. Because of its multisystem involvement and life-threatening effects, diabetes has become a major health concern for people of all ages in recent years. In 2019, diabetes was directly responsible for around 1.5 million fatalities. It's the primary cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower-limb amputations. Despite advances in pharmacological research and therapy, effective diabetes management remains a problem. Many therapeutic plants have demonstrated promising outcomes in animals in studies, and these findings can be applied to humans. This review examines the antidiabetic activity of common medicinal herbs such as Gymnema sylvestre, Swertia chirata, Momordica charantia, and others in experimental animals
