Traditionally used medicinal plants have been a source of relief in controlling different types of diseases throughout the globe. People living in rural areas of developing countries including India rely mainly on indigenous medicinal practice to get rid of various diseases. In our present study we have conducted an ethnobotanical survey to collect information about the use of traditional medicinal plants for diabetes treatment by the tribes of Bodoland Territorial Council of North-eastern state of India. Our survey has reported as many as 23 numbers of medicinal plants belonging to 19 families. Family Cucubritaceae was found to be of high frequency in terms of its use with a maximum of 3 species. Therefore, it is suggestive that our survey report on antidiabetic medicinal plants could be helpful and useful in finding newer antidiabetic drugs.
