there arent any effective herbal treatments, but there are prescriptions that can help a little bit. best thing to do though is avoid it by maintaining a healthy weight and excercising regularly. type 2 diabetes often doesnt have symptoms early on (or they are subtle) so the only way you’d know for sure is a blood test. lots of times you can get them at health fairs for -15

Question by Anonymouseezz: What is insulin and how does it help people with diabetes?
Basically as simply as possible, what is it, and how does it help people with diabetes?

Answer by Shurephyre
Insulin is a chemical in the body that counters sugar (from what you eat / drink) to keep your blood sugar at a moderate level. People with diabetes do not make (or make very little) insulin, therefore, they must get it from another source (either taken from an animal or chemically synthesized).

Too high or too low of blood sugar is bad and can be lethal. This is why insulin is VERY important.

Question by joli: How does the measurement of a blood C peptide level help to determine the type of diabetes?
Occasionally an adult or child is diagnosed with diabetes who does not fit the stereotypical picture of the type of diabetes associated with their age group. How does the measurement of a blood C peptide level help to determine the type of diabetes?

Answer by micksmixxx
C-peptide is only released when insulin is produced. Therefore, if C-peptide is not present, or is in low concentrations, doctors would, very likely, determine that the patient is suffering from type 1 diabetes. (In type 2 diabetes insulin is still produced, though is not readily used due to insulin resistance.)
