Nutraceuticals used in Management of Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: The rising incidence and severe effects, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide health emergency. Because of their capacity to enhance insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation, and avert problems associated with diabetes, nutraceuticals have become a viable adjunct or alternative therapy option, even if traditional medicines continue to be the mainstay of management. The function of many nutraceuticals in the management of type 2 diabetes is examined in this review, including fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts. These substances' potential to enhance glycaemic management and general metabolic health is highlighted, along with the processes by which they work. Issues like safety and standardisation are discussed, and the future direction of this field's research is highlighted, especially with regard to clinical validation and the best ways to dose medications.
