چکیده :

Diabetes is one of the chronic and complex diseases of current societies that increases blood glucose and metabolic disorders due to insulin shortage or deficiency. Epidemiologic observations have shown that the prevalence of diabetes has increased with a change in the diet and lifestyle from traditional to industrial. Hence, knowledge of food therapies and herbs is highly important for the improvement of diabetic patients and blood glucose control. Before the discovery of insulin as well as common antidiabetic drugs, diabetic patients were treated with herbs and traditional therapies. So far, the positive effects of more than 1,200 herbs have been known to reduce blood sugar levels or reduce its side effects. Medicinal plants have long been used to control blood sugar, reduce complications, and increase the life quality and longevity of diabetic patients. Due to the many side effects of chemical drugs used for the treatment of diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases, it is necessary to research drugs with minimal side effects and a high degree of reliability. Moreover, most medicinal herbs have limited habitats, which has put them at the risk of extinction due to the destruction of habitats by human activities. Therefore, collecting information about medicinal plants and their application from different places, which has been passed down from one generation to the next, is a valuable source of ancient medicine in the present time. This review was aimed to investigate the effect of some native plants in Kermanshah province on blood glucose reduction.
