Treatment Options

Insulins

Insulin treatment directly replaces the natural hormone that is missing in the diabetic patient. Increasing the amount of insulin in the blood allows more glucose to be absorbed from the blood stream and into body tissue cells to provide energy. Insulin is not a cure for diabetes.
