contents <p><span>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with a rising global prevalence, characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency or resistance. Polyherbal formulations offer a promising alternative for diabetes management, harnessing synergistic effects of multiple plant-derived bioactives while minimizing side effects.
