Methodology: The literature was thoroughly investigated for any scientific evidence indicating traditional use of different plant species in the management of diabetes. The search was done in databases of Google Scholar, Saudi Digital Library and PubMed. Accordingly, the used plant species are classified into six groups. These are: Plants with antidiabetic activity, Plants with hypoglycemic activity, plants with alpha-glucosidase activity, Plants with alpha-amylase activity, Plants with glucose tolerance test, Plants with hypolipemic, anti-cholesterol, LDL and HDL activity. Conclusion: We have done in vitro and in vivo evaluation of M. arvensis L. for antidiabetic activity.  The leaves extracts of M. arvensis L. showed significant antioxidant potential and significantly inhibited protein glycation, which correlated well with its phenolics along with other phytoconstituents. the methanolic extract of M. arvensis L.
