Diabetes mellitus may be defined as a state where the body of a person is deficient in the production of insulin. It may lead to a high amount of glucose in the bloodstream. The uses of medication for diabetes have many side effects. This paper involves a biochemical analysis of protein and carbohydrate content of Ocimum sanctum, Aegle marmelos, and Azadirachta indica leaves by use of extraction method. The plant samples for the same were collected from Vadodara and Anand district located in Gujarat. The results showed that the Azadirachta indica leaf sample collected from Anand showed maximum protein content and the Aegle marmelos leaf sample obtained from Vadodara had maximum carbohydrate content when compared with all plant samples collected for analysis. It may indicate that these plants have great anti-diabetic potential and can be used for the development of a potent drug from natural sources in the future.
