The aim of this study is to identify plants species used for curing diabetes in the Agadir Ida Outanane region, Southwest Morocco. Data were collected by semi-structured and structured interviews. 400 interviews were conducted with knowledgeable villagers. The obtained data were analyzed through fidelity level (FL), use value (UV) and relative frequency of citation (RFC). By this ethnobotanical survey identified 22 species belonging to 14 families. The most represented families are Lamiaceae and Asteraceae. Three plants species, Cladanthus mixtus (L.)
