Zusammenfassung:This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to find the effect of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) supplementation on glycemic control in type‐2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PubMed, Cochrane library, Google Scholar, and Science Direct were searched from inception to June 2020 to identify the studies that reported GS supplementation on glycemic parameters. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated by comparing the post‐intervention data with baseline data. SMDs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random‐effects model. Our meta‐analysis consisting of 10 studies with a total of 419 participants showed that GS supplementation significantly reduces fasting blood glucose (FBG) (SMD 1.57 mg/dl, 95% CI 2.22 to −0.93, p
