Abstract

Diabetic patients are more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases than nondiabetic patients. In addition, cardiovascular diseases associated with diabetes are a major cause of mortality and morbidity among diabetic people in the world. Diabetes has alarmingly continued to affect human beings around the world, and still continues especially in developed or developing countries with an increasing pace. There is a growing need for innovative and effective therapies for the management of hyperglycemia and the improvement of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients as well. Herein, herbal medicine or products play an essential role in developing a new cure or improving the efficiency of the antidiabetic drugs with the features of cardioprotective effects. This chapter highlights some promising herbal remedies, including resveratrol, berberine, ginseng, curcumin, and ginkgo in the therapeutic usage for controlling of hyperglycemia as well as in either preventing or decreasing the susceptibility of diabetic patients to cardiovascular diseases with a focus on possible underlying mechanisms of their effects.
