SUMMARY Taking into account international recommendations on the predictive assessment of the safety of herbal preparations and specialized food products, a preliminary informational assessment of potential allergological risks of using 13 medicinal plants – promising sources of drugs and phytonutrients for specialized food products for patients with diabetes mellitus was carried out. Of the 13 most commonly used domestic medicinal plants in traditional recipe
guides for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, the most prognostically safest sources of
phytonutrients (in terms of their allergological and toxicological risks) are blueberry leaves and
shoots.
