Role of Nutritional Medicine in Reversing Diabetes Type 2
Globally, more than 425 million people suffer from diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2), which has long been regarded as incurable using conventional treatment. Complications arising from DMT2can lead to a host life-threatening metabolic disorders including atherosclerosis, renal failure, fatty liver disease, and early onset of malignancy. Research evidence in the past two decades or so offers a different perspective in its management. DMT2 is linked strongly to poor dietary and lifestyle habits besides genetic disposition. Insulin resistance is its major pre-diabetic metabolic disorder. Its reversal includes weight loss, regular exercises, and low caloric food/beverages/carbs. Nutraceuticals that promote diabetes reversal include chromium polynicotinate, berberine, charantin, cinnamon, ginsenosides, and EPA.
