The aim of the study was the identification of the most frequently used plants by patients with DM2 with access to public health services in Morelos, Mexico. A questionnaire was employed with 259 patients with DM2 who regularly utilize medicinal plants as a complementary therapy, and another 259 patients who only use the pharmaceutical prescription in primary-care clinics from two health national institutions. Most frequently used plant was Opuntia sp. ("nopal"). The disease evolution (>10 years), higher blood-glucose rates (>200 mg/dL) and having relatives with the same disease could influenced the use of medicinal plants as complementary therapy. |
