Treatment of diabetes with folk remedies at home

Diabetes mellitus is recognized as a severe disease of the endocrine system. Pathology is incurable. Doctors have failed to find effective methods of healing. But with proper treatment, you can stop the development of the disease and protect the patient from complications. To achieve such results, complex therapy will be required. Treatment includes pharmacotherapy, diet, exercise. Folk remedies will bring tangible help.

Basic home treatments for diabetes

• folk methods;
• phytotherapy (herbal treatment);
• spice therapy;
• physiotherapy.

Type 2 is characterized by sufficient synthesis of insulin. However, organ cells become insensitive to the hormone. Therefore, insulin remains unclaimed. With this type of diabetes, the patient does not need hormone injections. Pathology usually develops in the mature and elderly population. Overweight or obesity is a prerequisite for the appearance of the disease. Type 2 diabetes mellitus lends itself well to correction with dietary nutrition, therapeutic exercises, and medications. When body weight is normalized, blood sugar levels decrease. In the treatment of type 2 diabetes, folk remedies provide invaluable help. They allow:
