糖尿病自然疗法

糖尿病

糖尿病 (Diabetes) 有两种主要的类型。在1型糖尿病中,胰腺中的胰岛素分泌细胞受到破坏(可能因为病毒感染),导致血液中的胰岛素水平几乎降为零。然而,在2型糖尿病中(常见于成年人)胰岛素仍然是充足的,只是机体对胰岛素不能作出正常的反应。不管在哪一种糖尿病中,血糖均达到了有毒的水平,其可以对身体的许多器官和组织造成损害。

对1型糖尿病的常规治疗包括注射胰岛素以及严格的饮食控制。对2型糖尿病来说,有时只要改变生活方式(如增加运动,减轻体重,饮食控制)就可能可以有效地控制血糖水平。各种口服药物也通常对2型糖尿病是有效的,但是某些2型糖尿病人还需要注射胰岛素。

除常规治疗外,若在有医生指导的情况下,额外使用一些自然疗法可能也会有一些帮助。它们可能可以帮助稳定病情、减少对药物的需求,或者补充糖尿病引起的营养不良。不过,由于糖尿病是一种可能会引发许多并发症的严重疾病,这些自然疗法不应该用来替代常规的医学治疗。另外,如果某种自然疗法对您确实有效,,那么您需要减少常规药物的剂量以避免产生低血糖。正因为如此,医学指导是必需的。
