Herbal products most frequently used by herbal product users are; cinnamon (29.4%), lemon and yoghurt (23.5%) and olive leaves (20.5%). A statistically significant difference was found between the use of herbal products with gender and education (p <0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that one of the three diabetic individuals included in the study used herbal products and no food supplement use was observed. It was determined that women prefer herbal products more than men, high school and university graduates than primary school graduates, and most of them did not inform health professionals that they used herbal products.
