AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the prevalence of herbal medicine (HM) use 
      and factors influencing HM usage including the identification of the main plants 
      consumed by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in central-western 
      Mexico. DESIGN: A total of 1862 patients with diabetes were surveyed in public 
      and private hospitals in four states (Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, and San 
      Luis Potosi) of the central-western region of Mexico. The chi-square test was 
      used to assess associations between HM use and demographic characteristics, such 
      as glucose levels, presence of complications and comorbidities, as well as the 
      selected therapy to treat T2DM. RESULTS: The prevalence of HM use (59.2%) in 
      patients with T2DM was mainly associated with education level (p = 0.001), time 
      of diagnosis of T2DM (p = 0.004), presence of complications (p < 0.001) and 
      comorbidities (p = 0.018) and the use of insulin (p < 0.001). These patients 
      report a higher consumption of herbal medicine compared to those on glycemic 
      control (p < 0.001). The most frequently used medicinal plants to treat T2DM were 
      nopal (54.9%), moringa (26.7%), and aloe (22.1%). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of 
      HM use to treat T2DM in west-central Mexico is high (59.2%) and its consumption 
      is mostly carried out without the recommendation of a health professional 
      (91.9%). The use of HM increases mainly when the patient uses insulin, during 
      complications of the disease or in patients with an inadequate glycemic control.
