Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of metabolic imbalances that involves hypertension, central obesity, insulin resistance, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. It is linked to an increased risk of diabetes and atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). MetS have gained significant importance recently due to the exponential increase in obesity worldwide. The two main causes of this kind of syndrome are an increase in high-calorie, low-fiber fast food consumption and a decrease in physical activity owing to mechanized transportation and sedentary leisure activities. The syndrome contributes to the spread of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, and others. Herbal treatments have a long history of use in the treatment and prevention of disorders, including diabetes, when compared to conventional medicine. Diabetes is one of the world's most serious public health issues. Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome marked by hyperglycemia, changes in lipid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism, and long-term consequences affecting the eyes, kidneys, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.

Also, the recent increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes worldwide and several associated complications leads to paying more attention to remedies for diabetes. Hence a review of conventional and recently explored plants useful in the treatment of diabetes concise and aimed to revert back to the conventional plant benefits and utilization of medicinal plants.
