Synopsis
The incidence and severity of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide, presenting a significant burden to society both in economic terms and overall well-being. Fortunately, time-tested anti-diabetes mellitus plant foods exist that are safe and could be effective in addressing this condition when consumed judiciously with a concomitant change in lifestyle. Plants with Anti-Diabetes Mellitus Properties presents an exhaustive compilation of the anti-diabetes mellitus activities of more than 1000 plants occurring worldwide. The author provides a brief botanical description, distribution, pharmacological properties, and phytochemicals, where appropriate. A list of traditional medicinal plants used to treat diabetes, but not tested for anti-diabetic activity, is also given. This unique reference highlights anti-diabetes mellitus plant foods along with a list of the edible parts of plants with anti-diabetes mellitus properties. Anti-diabetes mellitus nutraceuticals are described with guidelines for the development of food supplements and formulations of diets appropriate for diabetic patients. This is a valuable source of information for researchers, students, doctors, diabetic patients, and other individuals wanting to learn more about plant-based treatments for diabetes mellitus.

"We can be grateful for the considerable amount of collected research that is presented here-in fact, we are gifted with 126 pages packed full of references alone, most of which are from the last 5 to 10 years. These references nicely support the three major sections of the book."

"This book provides valuable update to earlier publications on this subject and encompasses an impressive number of 1085 plants tested for anti-Diabetes Mellitus (anti-DM) properties; these plants are presented alphabetically in order of Latin binomial name...[This book] would be a useful desk reference providing ready access to data on anti-DM activity of a plant of interest or to scan the literature for leads in the field."
