Have you been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? You can’t let it run your life. In order to find a cure of Diabetes Type 2, we need to understand what it is. Type 2 diabetes is considered to be a problem in the immune system of the body. The immune system starts attacking the cells of the body. As is in the case of diabetes type 1 when the body is not producing enough insulin, in type 2 the organs like liver and pancreas do not work properly thus making the immune system weak. The microbes and parasites present in these organs start a chain reaction where the organs do not work properly.
It is believed that there is no cure of diabetes type 2. Such condition can’t be cured completely there is only treatment that aims to keep the blood glucose levels normal. So if you have been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, you need to follow a twofold line of treatment-
