Diabetes mellitus - non-traditional treatment and traditional medicine
Diabetes develops because of the absolute or relative lack of an insulin hormone. Because of this, the body begins to disturb the carbohydrate metabolism, and then a whole chain of various disorders associated with the metabolism.
Diabetes is divided into two types - insulin-dependent( 1 species) and insulin-independent( 2 species).Thus, the treatment of diabetes depends on its type. But the main goal of treatment of any kind is to reduce the sugar content in the blood, restore all exchanges in the body, prevent the development of complications.

So, the method of treatment of type 1 diabetes is insulin injections. It works as well as insulin produced by the body on its own. The diet with this type of diabetes will not significantly improve, but it will be able to support the basic metabolic processes in the body, and it will not lead to complications. Also, the body can be maintained by physical exertion.
To treat type 2 diabetes, you need to take hypoglycemic drugs, and sometimes you can get by by simply following a diet. Thus, treatment of diabetes without insulin is possible only with type 2 disease.
