What is better for treating diabetes, natural treatments or insulin? The diabetic that is insulin dependent does not have a choice if they are going to maintain their diabetes and remain healthy, but to use insulin.
There are some people that are borderline diabetics and type II diabetics that are able to maintain their blood sugar level in the normal range with the use of natural remedies. This includes herbal treatments like blueberry leaves, bilberry and others.
When this is the course of treatment the patient should be monitored by a physician, take the herbal treatment as directed and have blood sugar testing done often. Even when the symptoms of diabetes dissipate it is still important for the person to continue taking the herbal remedy in order to keep blood sugar levels in the normal range.
When using any type of treatments for treating diabetes, even ones that are not prescription medications the physician will need to be informed in order to watch for signs of low blood sugar. |
