Traditional Diabetes Specialist Versus Holistic Diabetes Specialist
A traditional diabetes specialist focuses on the the prescription medications which are useful but do not treat the root cause of diabetes. Often diabetics end up developing the horrendous complications of diabetes such as chronic kidney disease, eye disease, peripheral neuropathy, heart disease and poor circulation. In comparison, a holistic diabetes specialist focuses on treating the whole body and tries to reverse the downhill course of diabetes.
