Faced with a diagnosis of diabetes, many people try to supplement their prescriptions with "natural" remedies. Taking an evidence-based approach, this book describes the popular complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) substances, presenting what is known about the product, the mechanism of action, and the potential adverse effects.
People with diabetes are 1.6 times more likely than people without diabetes to use a complementary or alternative medicine supplement. This clinician's guide will give you facts and tips to help your patients successfully consider using a CAM supplement. Includes: in-depth descriptions of botanical and nonbotanical CAM supplements to treat diabetes; tables organizing supplements and therapies for quick reference; and review of clinical studies and chemical constituents for each supplement.
