Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder which affects millions of people every year. If diabetes is not controlled, it can cause serious damage and a number of health complications. The aim of this paper was to review published ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological evidences of Moroccan plants with antidiabetic potentials. Publications describing the medicinal plants used for the treatment of diabetes in Morocco were searched from the databases, including Google Scholar, Elsevier, Medline, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Pubmed. Other literature source was also used including books and theses available in library. About 750 literature references were studied, and only 240 research publications based on data from different Moroccan provinces published until June 2019 were included in this review. In total, 255 plants species belonging to 70 families were reported. Compositae and Lamiaceae were mentioned as the most represented families. The frequently used plant species in the dwellers of most regions of Morocco are Trigonella foenum-graecum, Artemesia herba-alba, Nigella sativa, Olea europaea, Allium cepa and Marrubium vulgare. This review provides useful information and current scientific knowledge on the medicinal plants used to manage diabetes in Morocco. Medicinal plants reported should be submitted to chemical, pharmacological and clinical studies to identify pharmacologically active metabolites and to confirm their antidiabetic activity.

摩洛哥用于治疗糖尿病的药用植物的民族药理学评论

糖尿病是一种慢性代谢性疾病，每年影响数百万人。如果不控制糖尿病，则可能导致严重损害和许多健康并发症。本文的目的是回顾具有抗糖尿病潜力的摩洛哥植物的已发表的民族植物学和民族药理学证据。从数据库中搜索了描述摩洛哥用于治疗糖尿病的药用植物的出版物，包括Google Scholar，Elsevier，Medline，Web of Science，SCOPUS和Pubmed。还使用了其他文献资料，包括书籍和可在图书馆获得的论文。这项研究对大约750篇文献参考文献进行了研究，并且只有240份基于摩洛哥不同省的数据出版的研究出版物发表至2019年6月。总共，报告了属于70科的255种植物。菊科和唇形科被认为是最有代表性的科。摩洛哥大多数地区居民中最常用的植物种类是禾本科Trigonella foenum-graecum，Artemesia herba-alba，Nigella sativa，Olea europaea，Allium cepa和Marrubium v​​ulgare。这篇综述提供了有关摩洛哥用于管理糖尿病的药用植物的有用信息和最新科学知识。报告的药用植物应进行化学，药理和临床研究，以鉴定具有药理活性的代谢产物并确认其抗糖尿病活性。蒿蒿，黑叶苜蓿，欧洲油橄榄，葱属洋葱和大头菜。这篇综述提供了有关摩洛哥用于管理糖尿病的药用植物的有用信息和最新科学知识。报告的药用植物应进行化学，药理和临床研究，以鉴定具有药理活性的代谢产物并确认其抗糖尿病活性。蒿蒿，黑叶苜蓿，欧洲油橄榄，葱属洋葱和大头菜。这篇综述提供了有关摩洛哥用于管理糖尿病的药用植物的有用信息和最新科学知识。报告的药用植物应进行化学，药理和临床研究，以鉴定具有药理活性的代谢产物并确认其抗糖尿病活性。
