The original roots of complementary medicine continue to be found in India, where it is still widely used in public healthcare. Due to the significant rise in frequency in India, diabetes mellitus has recently attracted attention. It is characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels over the threshold and an overflow of added sugar into the urine. The purpose of this research is to look into the traditional medical knowledge of plants used to cure diabetes in the Gajapati district of Odisha. Interactions with the Savara, Shaber, Kandha and Lodha tribes of the district were used to gather information on the anti-diabetic plants. Interacting with the traditional medicine men allowed researchers to chronicle the indigenous knowledge of the plants' anti-diabetic qualities. There are 19 plants in all, spread across 14 families, which have been identified as being used to treat diabetes mellitus. The medicinal plant belonging to the family of Euphorbiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Araceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Apocynaceae and Polypidiaceae are the most frequently used. Roots and leaves were the most frequently used, and decoction extracts were most frequently employed. Our research found a large number of these plants and the products they produce. With more thorough research, the future of diabetes treatment may be promising. For these plants to become recognized as secure and efficient anti-diabetic drugs, additional clinical and pharmaceutical intervention investigations are required.
