Diabetes mellitus, a nutritional disorder characterized by an abnormal elevation of blood glucose levels and the excretion of excess glucose in the urine, is rooted in an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin, leading to disruptions in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Dating back to the ancient era of 1550 BC, the illustrious Ebers Papyrus advised the use of high-fibre wheat grains for diabetes treatment. Intriguingly, the utilization of plant-based foods endures as the predominant strategy for managing diabetes, now substantiated by a more sophisticated understanding of the scientific rationale. Across centuries, over 400 plants have been prescribed as remedies for diabetes. The historical prominence of raw onions, garlic, bitter gourd, and ginseng as anti-diabetic agents in various cultures persists. Additionally, the proven anti-diabetic properties of mushrooms, barley bread, and an assortment of foods such as alfalfa, beans, cabbage, cinnamon, coriander seeds, cucumber, fenugreek seed, Indian gooseberry, Jambul fruit, lettuce, and turnips have endured the test of time. Ongoing contemporary tests consistently affirm their efficacy in lowering blood sugar levels or stimulating insulin production. This comprehensive compilation provides insights into some pivotal foods with promising benefits for the intricate management of diabetes
