Alternative Therapies and Complementary Therapies for Diabetes
 Diabetics
often treat their diabetes with complementary therapies, but most are
hesitant about trying alternative therapy.
Studies have shown that chromium, used as a supplement, may
help control insulin levels.
Ginseng has been shown to lower glucose levels when fasting
and after meals. And, as with any herb, the levels in the ginseng
tablets varies, so it is hard to ensure you are receiving the same
amounts.
Studies have shown that a lack of magnesium reduces the
control of glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
Vanadium studies have shown that it slightly increases insulin
sensitivity and patients can decrease their insulin somewhat.
Note: Always consult your physician before
trying alternative therapies. |
