Type 1 Diabetes: Other Treatment
Content provided by Healthwise
Other Treatment
People who have type 1 diabetes need to avoid products that promise a “cure.” No cure exists. They also need to avoid products for diabetes that are advertised by testimonials without a sound medical basis. These products or remedies may be harmful and costly. They also might cause people to delay or avoid getting other forms of treatment that have been proved to work.
