Diabetes: Can Diabetes be Reversed? and Natural Remedies for Diabetes

Disease management:

Disease management includes education by the physician, dietary change, medication, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. Type I diabetes mellitus generally develops before 30 years of age and results from autoimmune damage to insulin producing cells rendering the pancreas unable to secrete insulin. Diabetes type I patients require long acting basal insulin coverage over the course of 24 hours with short acting insulin before meals which mimics the body’s natural response to food. Diabetes mellitus type II is generally known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, but this is a misnomer as type II may also require insulin. Type II is the most common form of diabetes mellitus and occurs more often in obese individuals regardless of age. It also occurs more often in older adults, those exposed to steroids for other diseases, and in those with poor diet or with sedentary lifestyle.
