Surely one of the first questions that arise in a person who is diagnosed as "diabetes mellitus" is whether the pathology can be cured completely. Let's try to understand this important issue, considering separately the basic forms of diabetes mellitus.
Can I cure diabetes of the first (1) type?
Diabetes of the first type develops as a result of destruction of pancreatic endocrine cells, as a result of which normal production of insulin ceases. This, in turn, causes an increase in the level of glucose in the blood, the maintenance of which is normally regulated by insulin. The main cause of diabetes mellitus of this type are autoimmune processes in the body, to stop which medicine to date, unfortunately, is not capable. In view of this, the presently considered disease is incurable. The only thing that can be done is constant injections of insulin to compensate for violations of carbohydrate metabolism, prevention of hyperglycemia and complications.
However, it should be noted that ongoing studies in the near future can provide more effective methods of treating type 1 diabetes. So, a device called an artificial pancreas has been created, which is capable of releasing the required amount of insulin and controlling the level of glucose. Also, the possibility of transplanting healthy pancreatic endocrine cells is being studied, preparations are being developed to block autoimmune processes and stimulate the growth of new pancreatic cells.
Can I cure diabetes of the second (2) type?
The second type of diabetes mellitus is pathology, in the development of which several main causes play a part:
- overweight ;
- lack of mobility;
- intrauterine pathologies;
- heredity, etc.
With this disease, the sensitivity of tissues to the action of insulin develops, which gradually begins to be produced in large quantities, depleting the pancreas, and then, on the contrary, practically ceases to be synthesized.
The success of treatment of this type of diabetes is largely determined by the desire of the patient to heal, the "experience" of pathology, the presence of reversible or irreversible complications. If you take time to normalize your weight, keep to a diet and the rate of physical activity, control your blood glucose level, give up harmful habits, then defeat the disease, stopping its development is possible. Also, new surgical methods - gastric and biliopancreatic bypass - give great prospects.
Is it possible to cure diabetes with folk remedies?
As already mentioned, type 1 diabetes mellitus is not cure, so folk remedies during its treatment can only slightly reduce symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. The folk remedies for type 2 diabetes are more effective, namely, vegetable hypoglycemic agents, normalizing carbohydrate metabolism. These include:
- leaves and fruits of blueberries;
- elephant high;
- the root of a large burdock;
- walnut leaves , etc.
