The aim of this study is bringing phytotherapy back to the spot light, which is widely used in the traditional medicine. In the last decades, the use of plant‑based products has increased, because of the beneficial properties they exert, such as the antioxidant effect, hypoglycemic, anticancer effect, infection treatment etc. The present study approaches the applications of the phytotherapy today in diabetes and its sequels, those applications representing only a small part of the medicinal plants use over time and today.
