Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease caused by cellular problems in the pancreas that requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled through medication, though doctors refer to remission when drug treatment brings blood sugar levels under control, even if diabetes is not fully cured. Homeopathy offers a constitutional remedy for type 2 diabetes that takes a patient's full medical history into account to select the best individualized remedy, and also uses organopathic remedies like Uranium Nitricum and Gymnema sylvestre that can substantially reduce blood sugar levels by targeting the root cause of the disease.
