Abstract
Diabetes prevalence is rising globally, including in Morocco, where traditional medicine plays a crucial role. The review catalogs 310 plant species from 84 families used in diabetes treatment. The authors analyze preparation methods and plant parts utilized, highlighting Morocco's ethnopharmacological landscape. Between June 2022 and January 2023, they surveyed literature from Elsevier and PubMed (1980-2022). The results reveal diverse plant species with antidiabetic potential. However, further research is essential to identify active compounds and validate efficacy for integration into modern healthcare practices.
