ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a common chronic ailment afflicting our society from various walks of life. The astronomic increase in the prevalence of diabetes has made it a major public health challenge. This chronic illness requires continuing medical care and ongoing patient self-management, education and support to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. Diabetes care is complex and requires multifactorial risk reduction strategies beyond glycemic control. A large body of evidence exists that supports a range of interventions to improve diabetes outcomes. These standards of care are intended to provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and other interested individuals with the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. It is clear that optimal diabetes management requires an organized, systematic approach and involvement of a coordinated team of dedicated health care professionals working in an environment where patient-centered high-quality care is a priority. The objective of this review is to update the diabetic patient with different approaches towards the systems of medicine like N-Naturopathy, A-Ayurveda, T- Tinctures from Homeopathy, U- Unani, R- Regulating food habits, E- Exercise and S- Siddha.
