Core Tip This study evaluates the antidiabetic effects of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) alone and in combination with metformin in a high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rat model. The combination therapy improved glycemic control, lipid profile, renal parameters, and body weight compared with GS alone, although metformin remained superior. These findings support the potential role of GS as an adjunct to standard metformin therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
