Core Tip
Core tip: This review on diabetes aims to provide information available on research carried out on both traditional and modern medicine practices, highlighting some recent ones including use of nanomedicines that would hopefully be able to give patients a better quality of longer life. This review also focuses on some unresolved issues and concerns about the benefits of using plant products and nanoformulations in reducing side effects and provides convincing evidence of their ameliorative properties.
