ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that has become a significant global health challenge. Traditional synthetic anti-diabetic drugs have several side effects that have led researchers to investigate natural plant extracts for more effective treatments. This article explores a pioneering approach to diabetes management by investigating the potential activity of herbal plant extracts derived from botanical sources, with a specific focus on Costus Igneus, Ficus racemosa, and Olive Leaf Extracts. The study aims to develop a novel pharmaceutical formulation that not only effectively manages diabetes but also minimizes adverse effects associated with conventional treatments by harnessing the therapeutic potential of these extracts. The study utilizes in vitro and in vivo methodologies to comprehensively evaluate the anti-diabetic potential of the formulated tablets. The results of this research can contribute to the development of new, more effective, and safer anti-diabetic treatments.
