        abstract = {Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by persistently high blood sugars. It increases the risk of serious complications that can affect many organ systems. Conventional treatments mostly aim to reduce heart disease risk by managing blood sugar. Still, the use of alternative medicines, including nutraceuticals and herbal cures, has grown more and more common. To evaluate their opinions on the use of nutraceuticals for diabetes control, this study comprised a poll of 100 consumers, 50 practitioners, and 50 vendors. The results indicate that diabetic patients strongly favour holistic therapy; reported improvements in glucose control and overall well-being abound from this approach. Since alternative medicines help manage diabetes, sellers and practitioners usually promote their use. This strengthens their legitimacy. The aim of the study is to clarify the role nutraceuticals play in controlling diabetes and underline the need to clinically prove them before they can be applied to daily treatment.},
