What exactly is diabetes and why is it such a dreaded disease so much so that it is often referred to as the "silent killer"? Diabetes occurs when there are high levels of blood sugar cause due to the levels of insulin. When this becomes too low, a condition known as diabetes forms. There are three main kinds of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2 and a condition that is often caused by pregnancy called gestational diabetes. This type usually resolves on its own after the baby is born.



The basic treatment for diabetes is following healthy eating habits, keeping up with physical activity and using insulin by injection, pen, or an insulin pump. One must monitor his blood sugar readings often throughout the day. A person with Type 2 diabetes may need oral medication as well as the insulin to control blood glucose levels.



If the blood sugar level drops too low, then a person develops hypoglycemia. This is characterized by nervousness, shakiness, and confusion. A person can even faint if the level drops too low.



What if you don't want to take insulin and subject yourself to the needle multiple times a day? Then you have to look at some of the natural cures for diabetes. Here are some treatments for diabetes that you may want to look into.



#1 Massage



The masseuse massages the muscles so that they become relaxed and manipulated. This is done to improve the patient's health conditions. Did you know that getting a massage is really a form of passive exercise? In the treatment for diabetes, it helps to relieve the tension in our muscles and helps to reduce stress by calming down your nervous system.



There are different varieties of massaging techniques that are used on diabetics to make massaging of the most popular natural ways to heal diabetes. With the advanced massaging techniques that are used today, it improves the diabetic's conditions by getting rid of unwanted toxins from the body and improving the circulation of the blood.



#2 Mud Therapy



In the treatment for diabetes, mudpacks are widely used. Diabetes is linked to an over-accumulation of toxins in one certain organ, usually within the endocrine system or the digestive system. Mud packs help to eliminate these toxins. The mud has the ability to cool down the nervous system.



An alternative to using mudpacks is to take a mud bath. The patient shall sit in disinfected mud just like he was taking a bath. This shall be done for 30 to 90 minutes. This method is much more costly than mudpacks, however.



#3 Detoxification



Another treatment for diabetes is detoxification. You must get a controlled diet plan from your physician or health agency. It may be necessary to use supplements along with the diet in order to eliminate the toxins in your body. There are many of detoxification diet plans available. However, in order to recover from your diabetes, you must follow these diet plans to the letter.



#4 Acupressure



People who have undergone acupressure have reported that they have been cured of many illnesses. Acupressure involves the stimulation of different pressure points in a person's body to normalize and improve a person's health.



While this seems to be a good treatment for diabetes, you should still speak to your doctor about undertaking this kind of unconventional healing program. The one thing you must remember is that you are in charge of your own wellness.



Acupressure should only be done by a certified practitioner. Set up an appointment with him or her and discuss exactly what you want to see happen from your acupressure visits. Also ask him or her if they have had any success in using acupressure in the treatment for diabetes.
