Abstract : Diabetes is a diverse group of disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to an deficiency in insulin production. Diabetes mellitus's chronic hyperglycemia is linked to end organ damage, dysfunction, and failure, including blood vessel, kidney, retina, and nervous system. With over 62 million cases of diabetes being identified in India, the disease is rapidly turning into a true epidemic. The majority of synthetic oral hypoglycemic medications available for the disease's treatment are costly, have significant adverse effects, and/or cannot be used while pregnant. As a result, a growing number of people worldwide are turning to traditional herbal remedies to prevent and treat diabetes. Spices having antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic characteristics may be effective in the therapy of diabetes. As a result, these spices are growing in popularity due to their potential efficacy, little to nonexistent adverse effects, and synergistic effects. Spices are compounds used in food as coloring, flavoring, or preservation. They might be fresh or dried seeds, bark, roots, fruits, or even vegetables. This paper includes phytochemical screening of spices which have crucial role in the treatment of diabetis mellitus.

Keywords : Hyperglycemia, Traditional, Ingredients, Phytochemical Screening.
