Alternative medicine
Although many alternative therapies have been touted as possible ways to treat or prevent type 2 diabetes, there's no definitive evidence that any of these alternative therapies are effective.
Some supplements or alternative therapies might be harmful if combined with certain prescription medications. Talk with your child's doctor about the pros and cons of specific alternative therapies you might be considering.
