This survey was carried out in the coastal lowlands of Guinea-Conakry in order to make an inventory of plants used by traditional healers, herbalists and diabetic patients for the management of diabetes mellitus.
Frequent ethnomedical and ethnobotanical investigations were conducted from June 2008 to December 2009 in Conakry, Kindia, Forécariah, Dubréka, Boke, Fria and Boffa. It is a cross-sectional survey and data collection is based on the interactive method. During this period a total of 112 people aged from 39 to 76 years old were interviewed.
During this investigation 146 plant species belonging to 55 families were collected. The most cited plants were Anacardium occidentale L. and Ficus spp., while the Fabaceae family was the most represented, followed by the Euphorbiaceae and Rubiaceae. The most frequently plant parts used by the traditional healers and the herbalists were the stem-bark and decoctions the most common preparation mode.
It is clear that a variety of plants is used in the management and treatment of diabetes. Due to the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes, there is an urgent need for scientific investigations to rationalise the use of these traditional remedies, which could represent accessible alternative medicines for the Guinean populations.
本调查在几内亚-科纳克里沿海低地进行，旨在对传统治疗师、草药医生和糖尿病患者用于治疗糖尿病的植物进行编目。
2008 年 6 月至 2009 年 12 月，在科纳克里、金迪亚、福雷卡里亚、杜布雷卡、博凯、弗里亚和博法进行了频繁的民族医学和民族植物学调查。这是一项横断面调查，数据收集基于互动方法。在此期间，共采访了 112 名年龄在 39 至 76 岁之间的人。
在这次调查中，共收集了 146 种植物，属于 55 个科。被引用最多的植物是腰果和榕属植物，而豆科植物是最具代表性的，其次是大戟科和茜草科。传统治疗师和草药医生最常使用的植物部分是茎皮和汤剂，这是最常见的制备方式。
很明显，有多种植物用于糖尿病的管理和治疗。由于 2 型糖尿病的患病率不断上升，迫切需要进行科学研究，使这些传统疗法合理化，这可能为几内亚民众提供可获得的替代药物。
