Abstract

Current lifestyle, eating habits, stress, environmental factors and physical in-activeness have radically increased the progression of several lifestyle diseases. Diabetes Mellitus is one of them considered to be a major public health problem caused by insulin resistance or insulin secretory defects of pancreas that predicted to be turned globally as a pandemic having devastating complications including heart, kidney or neuro-endocrine disorders with increasing number of prevalence ratio day by day. Many drugs are commercially available for managing diabetes, their side effects and high costs underscore the need for herbal alternative drugs. Globally, researchers have been looking for natural therapeutic substances that treat or delay the onset of these lifestyle-related disorders. Numerous types of medicinal plants being implicated as jamun and fenugreek are one of them treat variety of disease ailments but in a few years shift has been focused towards the using of jamun and fenugreek seeds powder in multiple forms which are packed with variety of bio-actively important constituents being effective in controlling blood sugar levels, glycated hemoglobin levels and showed insulin like effect in experimental models, remarkably. In this review we will discuss about chemical composition and potent anti-diabetic potential of jamun and fenugreek seed.
