Preface

This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of herbal nanotherapy for diabetes, covering the principles, design, and development of herbal nanoparticles, as well as their preclinical and clinical evaluation. Diabetes, a chronic and debilitating metabolic disorder, has become a global health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. Despite significant advances in conventional treatments, diabetes management remains a challenging task, with many patients experiencing inadequate glycemic control, side effects, and compromised quality of life.

In recent years, herbal medicine has gained significant attention as a complementary or alternative approach to managing diabetes. The rich biodiversity of medicinal plants offers a vast array of bioactive compounds with potential antidiabetic properties. However, the poor bioavailability, limited solubility, and lack of targeting of these herbal extracts have hindered their therapeutic efficacy.

Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool to overcome these limitations, enabling the development of herbal nanoparticles with improved bioavailability, targeted delivery, and controlled release. Herbal nanotherapy, a fusion of herbal medicine and nanotechnology, has shown tremendous promise in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of herbal extracts while minimizing their side effects.

We hope that this work will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the field of herbal nanotherapy and its applications in diabetes management. This book also explains the burning metabolic disorder, diabetes, and its curative aspects. The use of phytochemicals in diabetes care is well documented in this book. The nanotherapeutic approach in the efficient delivery of phytochemicals has been overviewed and the mechanism of study is also explained. So, this book paved the way for overcoming challenges and advancements of nano therapy in diabetes.
