Diabetic
can use oral medication to treat their condition. These medication come to
light in 1960 and Metfomin, the popular medicine for diabetes type 2 was
approved in 1995. Since 2007, diabetic patients have had the opportunity to
receive stem cell treatment with stem cell from their own bone marrow which
reduces the need for insulin. R.D. Lawrence created a dietary exchange system
in 1920 which eventually helped with a beneficial diet for diabetes.
