Treatment
by Rhys on May 31, 2006
The american diabetes association (ADA) notes most of the 20.9 million diabetics in the United States have Type II diabetes. The group estimates another 41 million Americans have prediabetic conditions like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome X.
As more Americans are diagnosed with Type II diabetes and pre-diabetes, consumers are turning to dietary supplements that specifically target blood sugar control and may help prevent developing diabetes. The industry is responding to the demand for effective, well-researched natural solutions with successful new formulations. Products featuring once obscure folk herbs like cinnamon or ingredients such as bitter melon are receiving increasing media attention and a boost in sales.
I know many diabetics who eschew medication and have made tremendous strides with natural remedies such as a vegan diet and supplemental herbs. I believe they feel more 'in control' of their health that way, knowing the change comes from within, rather than from a faceless medical establishment. What do you think? Do you use medication, or nature's remedies?
