Background:Diabetes mellitus remains a global health challenge, demanding innovative
therapeutic strategies. Herbal remedies have garnered attention for their potential in diabetes
management, and recent advancements in nanotechnology have enabled the development
of herbal nanoformulations with enhanced efficacy and bioavailability.Objective:This review aimed to comprehensively analyze the mechanisms, formulations, and
clinical impact of herbal nanoformulations in managing diabetes mellitus.Method:A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies exploring the
mechanisms of action, various formulations, and clinical outcomes of herbal nanoformulations
in diabetes management.Result:Herbal nanoformulations exert their anti-diabetic effects through multiple mechanisms,
including enhanced bioavailability, improved tissue targeting, and potentiation of insulin signaling
pathways. Various herbal ingredients, such as bitter melon, fenugreek, and Gymnema sylvestre,
have been encapsulated into nanocarriers, like liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and
solid lipid nanoparticles, to enhance their therapeutic potential. Clinical studies have demonstrated
promising results, showing improvements in glycemic control, lipid profile, and antioxidant
status with minimal adverse effects.Conclusion:Herbal nanoformulations represent a promising avenue for the management of diabetes
mellitus, offering improved therapeutic outcomes compared to conventional herbal preparations.
Further research is warranted to optimize formulation strategies, elucidate long-term
safety profiles, and explore the potential synergistic effects of herbal nanoformulations in combination
therapies for diabetes management.
