Q. What are the major treatments of diabetes mellitus?

The general goal of the diabetes curing is to keep normal glycemic levels.

Type I diabetes is treated with parenteral administration of insulin and Insulin must be administered intramuscularly or intravenously because as a protein it would be digested if ingested orally. In type II diabetes cure is done with oral drugs that regulate the glucose metabolism or in more severe cases with parenteral administration of insulin. The moderation of carbohydrate ingestion is an important aid to diabetes curing. The diabetes treatment with the use of hypoglycemic agents like oral medicines or insulin, must be medically and carefully supervised since if wrongly used these drugs may abruptly decrease the glucose blood level may cause hypoglycemia and even death. Many other kinds of diabetes treatment are under research worldwide.
