>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Current research classifies Type 2 diabetes as most prevalent non-communicable diseases in South
Africa. Approximately 285 million people are affected globally with an expected increase to 595
million by the year 2035. Synthetic first-line drugs in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, have been
shown to have an efficacy rate of approximately 43% as a result of poor drug uptake and
metabolism. Furthermore, given South Africa’s uniquely diverse botanical heritage, herbs
commonly used traditional medicine have shown promise in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
