Diabetes mellitus, a widespread metabolic disorder, requires innovative
treatment strategies to address the limitations of conventional therapies, such as poor
bioavailability and side effects. Herbal medicines are promising alternatives due to
their natural origin and therapeutic potential. However, their clinical application is
hindered by challenges in stability and bioavailability. This chapter explores the use of
nanocarrier systems to enhance the delivery and efficacy of herbal compounds in
diabetes management and explores the innovative approach of using nanocarrier
systems for the delivery of herbal compounds in the treatment of diabetes. Also, the
chapter delves into various nanocarrier systems, like liposomes, polymeric
nanoparticles, and nanoemulsions, outlining their formulation techniques,
encapsulation efficiency, and drug-loading capacities.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Herbal nanocarrier, Nanotechnology, Plant-based nanoformulations, Phytochemicals.
