Traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of diabetes in rural and urban areas of Dhaka, Bangladesh -- an ethnobotanical survey

Conclusion: Traditional medicinal plants are commonly used in Bangladesh to treat diabetes. The available data regarding the anti-diabetic activity of the detected plants is not sufficient to adequately evaluate or recommend their use. Clinical intervention studies are required to provide evidence for a safe and effective use of the identified plants in the treatment of diabetes.
