Abstract
It is crucial to discover new nutraceuticals or medications to cure or prevent diabetes because it is becoming a pandemic. Some mushrooms seem to have benefits in controlling blood glucose levels and correcting diabetes problems without any negative side effects. Only a few regions employ mushrooms as appetizing food, health-improving dietary supplements, or medicine because they contain immune-modulating polysaccharides. However, scientific or clinical research on mushrooms has not been sufficient to allow them to be used as recognized medicines or nutraceuticals worldwide. These functional fungi may have a greater impact on the prevention and diabetes treatment. This review focuses on prospective mushrooms that have demonstrated anti-diabetic effects in clinical or experimental studies and prevent or slow the progression of diabetes mellitus.
