Optimizing the Use of Phytopharmaceuticals as a Therapeutic Approach for Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to optimize the utilization of phytopharmaceuticals as a therapeutic intervention for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Vietnam. The prevalence of diabetes is escalating globally, and T2DM is a significant health concern in Vietnam. Despite conventional treatments, many patients face challenges in managing their condition, necessitating alternative approaches.This study investigates the effectiveness and safety of incorporating phytopharmaceuticals into the management of T2DM. We will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of specific plant-derived compounds on glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and associated metabolic parameters. Additionally, the research will assess the cultural acceptance and feasibility of integrating phytopharmaceuticals into theexisting healthcare framework.The findings from this research will contribute valuable insights into the potential role of phytopharmaceuticals in enhancing the therapeutic options for T2DM patients in Vietnam. The study also seeks to address the growing demand for sustainable and culturally relevant approaches to healthcare.
