Abstract :
The prevalence of people with type 2 DM shows an increase in the number
from year to year. The use of herbal medicine has developed, one of which is
herbal medicine to lower blood sugar. Medicinal plants used as herbs to lower
blood sugar include brotowali, bay leaf sambiloto, ginger, turmeric, red ginger,
meniran, klabet seeds and moringa leaves either in combination or single form.
This systematic review is expected to increase scientific evidence on the effect of
using medicinal herbs to lower blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus.
This study is a systematic review without a meta-analysis which begins
with a search for scientific articles indexed in the last 10 years on Google Scholar
and Pubmed which have been published in the form of scientific articles related to
the effect of using medicinal herbs to lower blood sugar on changes in blood sugar
levels in patients with type diabetes mellitus-2 and reviewed using Critical
Appraisal of The Joanna Brigs Institute
The results of 201 research articles were screened into 5 research articles
that could be carried out systematic literature review without meta-analysis
showing the effect of using medicinal herbs to lower blood sugar on changes in
blood sugar levels in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
