Abstract

This study investigates the benefits of berberine in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a growing public health condition associated with obesity and complications such as chronic hyperglycemia. The research is justified by the need for effective therapeutic alternatives that complement conventional treatments, since berberine can improve insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health. Using an integrative approach, scientific articles published between 2016 and 2024 were analyzed, showing that berberine can reduce glucose levels and improve metabolic health, although safety and side effects still require further investigation. The conclusion points to berberine as a promising option in the management of T2DM, with the potential to improve the quality of life of patients.
