Rediscovering of natural therapeutics to treat the ruinous diseases became a major concern of the researchers for its outrageous need. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is such an almost incurable disease with enormous secondary complications. In today?s fast paced life style DM is the overriding origin of a switch back from life. As the death rate of diabetic patient is increasing the demand of substitute therapies are also increasing hence the use of medicinal plants. Zeroing the secondary complications of chemical treatment is the key factor of using medicinal plants. Carica papaya is one such highly prospective anti diabetic tropical plant has been used worldwide as a nutritive food. Thus the different parts of this plant in different formulations have been used to treat diabetes. This review is concerned with the role of C. papaya as an antidiabetic agent and the individual investigation of potentiality for different parts of the plant and to highlight the major gaps of the researches.
