The Power of Plants: Boosting Diabetic Nerve Health

Diabetic Neuropathy, commonly known as DN, is a tough complication of diabetes that hurts nerves and causes lots of discomfort. It's like a complex puzzle with pieces called molecular pathways, including cyclooxygenase, polyol, protein kinase C, and inflammatory paths. These pieces might be key to understanding why DN happens.
Scientists can look at the metabolic profile by checking how diabetes connects to certain biochemical signs. For a long time, people have used plants and herbs for medicine, and now scientists are studying them to help with DN. The effect of a plant depends on its quality and where it comes from.
Many plants have useful chemicals called phytoconstituents that can fight diabetes without bad side effects. Examples include terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, and glycosides. These plant compounds could help manage and treat DN.
A good way to find new treatments for DN is by understanding and controlling these molecular pathways. Plants might hold the key to better nerve health for people with diabetes.
