An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted in Kisangani City (Democratic Republic of Congo) in order to make an inventory of plant species used in folk medicine for the management of diabetes and their different modes of preparation.
Fifty-five traditional practitioners from different ethnic groups were interviewed about the plants they use against diabetes in folk medicine in Kisangani. All cited plants were collected and identified at the herbarium of the Faculty of Sciences, University of Kisangani.
Thirty-one plant species were collected out of which phanerophytes predominate (18 species). Eighty-three percent of herbal remedies are prepared by aqueous decoction. Ninety-seven percents of recipes are administered to patients by oral route. All plant parts are used fresh with water as the sole solvent. Leaves are the most used parts and the treatment lasts one to two weeks.
Herbal remedies used against diabetes in Kisangani City, DR Congo are widely administered as aqueous decoctions. Chemical and pharmacological studies of these preparations are in progress and might lead to interesting antidiabetic remedies.
为了对用于民间医学治疗糖尿病的植物物种及其不同的制备方法进行编目，在刚果民主共和国的基桑加尼市进行了一项民族药理学调查。
对来自不同民族群体的 55 名传统从业者进行了采访，询问他们在基桑加尼民间医学中用于治疗糖尿病的植物。所有引用的植物都在基桑加尼大学科学学院的植物标本馆中进行了收集和鉴定。
共采集到 31 种植物，其中以显花植物为主（18 种）。83%的草药是用水煎制而成。97%的处方通过口服途径给患者服用。所有植物部分均新鲜使用，仅用水作为唯一溶剂。叶子是最常用的部分，治疗持续一到两周。
刚果民主共和国基桑加尼市用于治疗糖尿病的草药广泛用作水煎剂。这些制剂的化学和药理学研究正在进行中，可能会产生有趣的抗糖尿病药物。
